A man died on Thursday afternoon after a large palm tree fell on him at Highline Park in Phoenix, police said.
Phoenix police officers responded to reports of an injured person at a park near 12th Street and South Mountain Avenue.
First responders found a man stuck underneath a fallen palm tree and firefighters worked to cut the tree in order to free the man.
Fire crews provided medical aid, but the man died at the scene from his injuries, police said.
"Preliminary information suggests the man was walking in the park with another person when the tree fell on top of him,"
said Sgt. Phil Krynsky, a spokesperson for the Phoenix Police Department
Asta e una din acele accidente cand esti in loc rau intr-un moment si mai rau.
Sa cada din senin un pom din asta pe un om dar nu si pe celalalt, nu stiu cum sa-l numesc acel ceas rau. In fata casei este un
parc si se plimba zilnic fara sa se intample nimic, cand deodata, precis din spate a cazut palmierul foarte inalt si batran.
Daca era una din acele zile cu vant puternic, ei nu erau afara, dar nici n-a cazut vre-un pom sa fie un indicator de pericol!!!
Tocmai intr-o zi senina cu soare se intampla asemenea accidente neobisnuite.
