Sequoia Crushes SUV In National Park

SEQUOIA NATIONAL PARK, Calif. -- A 200-foot-tall giant sequoia tree fell along Sequoia National Park's main road, crushing a vehicle into a several-foot high pile of crumpled metal, park officials said Monday.

The tree, believed to be approximately 1,000 years old, fell Sunday at about 5:15 p.m. along the Generals Highway several miles east of the Giant Forest Museum, said park spokeswoman Alexandra Picavet.

No one was injured but the Jeep Grand Cherokee was destroyed, Picavet said.

Sure, the Toyota is nice, but to say that it *crushes* the Jeep Grand Cherokee is a bit of a stretch. ;-)

And right after President Bush was campaigning for "Tree Control".
