Man Dead After Tree Falls on Car

By Dan O'Donnell

OREGON - A man is dead after a tree fell on top of his car in the town of Oregon Friday morning.

"A 46 year-old male was operating his car northbound in the 400 block of N. Main St. when a large oak tree collapsed and fell on top of his vehicle," said Oregon Police Lt. Craig Shervin. "The driver suffered fatal injuries and was pronounced dead at 9:04 a.m."

An exact cause of the accident is unclear, but the tree was older, and high winds may have knocked it over.
