Defenderjack it's the same incident, the woman was the passenger in the car. I've just read about this on a few websites and it was saying on the Daily Star website that a local tree surgeon at the scene said that the trees tha line the road could have become brittle from traffic fumes:confused1:

They are fertilised by road salt in the winter as well you know

 

Terrible news for the families involved and, unfortunately, the UK road side tree population.

there is a pic of the scene in the "tonights wind" thread, on a link.

I think its best that "tree surgeons" keep their mouths shut and cut the trees as requested!!

Do you think?

 

You get called to "the scene" and then start specuating on what could have caused the incident? Best to just do what you are there for and shut up IMO!
