The city felled the single tree along the west side of Avenue A between Houston/First Street and Second Street. At around 10:30am last Friday morning, a white unmarked van crashed violently into the tree, causing a significant cut to the trunk, according to witnesses and a report on the Citizen app…
Sometime yesterday the tree was felled (the first picture is from a tipster)…
A tipster shared a clip of surveillance footage showing the truck driving into the tree.
According to a witness, the driver of the truck did not get out to check the damage and drove off.
Local residents hoped the tree, with its unique corkscrew trunk, could stay in place.
