Yesterday morning, a tree in Central Park fell eastward onto Fifth Avenue at 93rd Street. While no one was injured, the tree damaged a car and blocked traffic for a while as various agencies cleaned up the mess. NY1 caught up the owner of the car, Linda Choi, who was working a few blocks away and revealed that her insurance wouldn't cover it.
Choi said, "I was working the cash register when someone came in and said a giant tree had fallen on Fifth Avenue and shut down the streets. So I ran over hoping that my car was salvaged, but unfortunately it was the casualty. It was my first car during and after college. I was hoping it would last me a couple more years, but I guess this is the last of it." She was also told that the tree was the park's largest.
