WOODLAND HILLS—A large tree that was designated as a landmark in Woodland Hills fell crushing over a dozen cars parked in a shopping center located on the 23000 block of Mulholland Drive on Saturday, January 14.
The tree was referred to as “The Old Oak” and was reported to be approximately a few hundred years old.
Some people were inside their vehicles when the tree fell to the ground. A bystander helped two people escape from one vehicle, while two others freed themselves from another. No one was seriously injured during the incident.
A clean-up crew arrived on Sunday, January 15, to clear off debris and other remnants of the oak tree.
It is currently unknown what caused the tree to topple over.
