We received several reader reports of a downed tree this morning on the north side of 12th Street just west of Second Avenue...
Our tipsters arrived after the tree was down. It's
possible that the truck neatly parked in the bike lane, and the tree just happened to uproot and fall over on its own. (Of course, we've had our share, like
here and
here, of truck-tree collisions. The trucks always win.)
Here's a screen grab from a reader video...
Tree aside, there weren't any reports of injuries.
According to the NYC Tree Map,
this was a Callery pear.
