A large tree crushed a car and narrowly missed a house after it fell in a Whittier neighborhood Monday night.
The incident happened on the 15000 block of Lanning Drive. There were no injuries, but the felled tree scared neighbors and left the car’s owner unable to get to work.
Hector Tobon said he was eating dinner when he heard a loud noise. When he went outside, he saw that his car was totaled. “I bought it around eight days ago and it’s a total loss. So now I don’t have a car and I don’t have any way to get to work, and I don’t know what to do. We’re going to wait for the insurance company and see how they can help us,” said Tobon, who is originally from Mexico City and has lived in Whittier for only about a year.Sign up for NBC LA newsletters.
