That is not a correct portrayal. The truck hit the garage first and the truck was then stopped by the tree. The tree didn’t fall and isn’t going to fall. The structural damage to the garage was done by the truck, since it’s stuck under it. In fact they still haven’t removed the truck because they didn’t want drag it out right away until they figured out what to do to prop up the garage after removing the truck.
Kevin … Thanks for the update!
