The woman's husband said he parked the car under the tree because it was a shady spot and he wanted his wife to be comfortable while she sat in the car.
It's a heartbreaking new reality for the 10-year-old who says he was at Pearson Park playing tennis with his father Manuel Cruz on Sunday afternoon when he heard a loud crack.
The father immediately left the court and found a 60-foot Bur Oak tree had fallen on top of their family car. Her husband tried to move the tree but he couldn't do it on his own. His wife, 62-year-old Maria De la Luz Cruz was in the backseat."We just know that an incredibly freak thing happened here on Sunday," said Mike Lyster, the Chief Communications Officer for the City of Anaheim.Lyster says an arborist examined the tree on Sunday night and found healthy water flow throughout.
"There is no indication with these trees here or the tree that we took away last night that they were not thriving, living trees," Lyster said."Just experiencing dormancy during winter." Anaheim Mayor Ashleigh Aitken released a statement saying in part"with sorrow and sympathy, our thoughts and prayers are with the family that has lost a loved one in this unthinkable time."
