The collision occurred about 8:40 p.m. A witness alleged that the driver claimed to have only "bumped" the tree with the passenger side mirror.
Helluva bump...
The driver left, the police were called... and someone captured the aftermath on the Citizen app...

Seriously wtf, man?!
Shoutout to Suds 'n' Buds aka Wash 'n' Clean on 14 though!
Now Penske can pay to replant the tree or if need be replace it. Shade and nature are important in our neighborhood, even if careless drivers don't think so... though perhaps we should feel lucky it wasn't a kid who got "bumped" by this very-sane-sized truck.
That is a shame hate to see a good tree get taken down like that.
Too much concrete in this city.
There is a Penske Amazon delivery truck parked all day every day on 14th between B and C. I wonder if it's them.
The tree does look like it was having issues and that root structure is not in good shape.
Bummer but good opportunity to shape up that tree pit for a new one
I'm disappointed in Carlina Rivera for not posing with it for a photo.
