ConFire is clearing the scene of vehicle accident in Rossmoor.
A large tree fell onto a car while traveling on Stanley Dollar Rd.
The driver sustained minor injuries and the passenger died in the accident.
Please avoid the area, the roadway is still blocked will remain closed.
How sad. Praying for family and all affected.
How terrifying for those poor people!
Is the home owner responsible for pruning trees on the property? Or is the city responsible?
.
Rossmoor is a private community and is generally operated and maintained by the Golden Rain Foundation. Residents are akin to shareholders of a company.

It doesn’t matter who is in charge of landscaping, pruning, cutting trees down and whatnot it happened you can’t cut down and prune every tree down to nothing to keep it from toppling over in the wind storm.
Some people call it an act of god, some people call it when your time is up it’s up and there’s nothing you can do about it and some people don’t call it anything but fate.
.
Fate?
.
Karma?
.
Wrong place at the right time?
.
… call it whatever fiits your philosophy.

A sad story, I know a few people that lives out there, although not in touch with all of them. As for when your time is up, my cousin in Denmark wanted very badly to become a pilot, against his parents wishes. He applied and was accepted, (trained in Texas and Arizona) he was told the percentages of pilots killed during the training, his answer: When my time is up, my time is up. This was in the late fifties, he went on fly for SAS, becoming one their youngest captains, he was studying to fly the 747 when he tripped, fell down 3 flights of stairs and were killed at age 38.
Cue the personal injury attorneys. Parasites they are.
Another exit from “God’s waiting room” I hope they had a full life!
Another Eucalyptus kills a motorist in heavy winds. Seems to be a pattern in California. The tree in question is on Stanley Dollar Dr, just east of Rossmoor Event Center. It’s on the east bank of Tice Creek adjacent to the golf course.
@ANONYMOUS…..Eucalyptus trees only have about a hundred year lifespan…..then they fall over.

Well, Rossmoor was developed in the mid-60s.
