A fierce storm in Atlanta on Thursday afternoon left one driver with a flattened car after a very close call with a falling tree on the highway, according to police.
Dashcam video recorded by another driver shows the moment a large tree toppled onto Interstate 285, crushing a silver sedan under its weight.
“We are very thankful there were no serious injuries,” Dunwoody police wrote in a Facebook post that included the video.
The driver was taken to hospital and treated for a few minor cuts, local station WSBTV reports. The tree also caused traffic delays while crews cleaned up the debris.
