The tree, which was part of three that grew together, crushed the windshield of the man’s car as he was traveling on Route 1 south in the right lane. Fire Marshal Jim McGuire said the man left the scene on his own and was not taken by the hospital.
McGuire said firefighters and fire marshals arrived on the scene and quickly pulled out chainsaws to begin clearing the tree.
