Friday’s severe weather brought down several trees in Tuscaloosa. In one case, a large tree branch fell and crushed a car parked under a tree at the corner of 12th Street and Sixth Avenue behind Jack’s Restaurant near the University of Alabama campus.
When the storm passed, a large limb broke off and fell into the street. It also left a big hole in the tree and a big repair bill for the car that was unlucky enough to be parked under it.
The road was closed for about an hour while crews sawed and moved the tree.
No one was injured in the incident.
A friend of the car owner wanted to tip the drivers.
“You have to be careful where you park,” they said. “UA Parking Services will get you if you park illegally on campus and Mother Nature will get you here, so be careful.”
Two people died in the storm. None of them were in West Alabama.
