At around 22 p.m. on the 7nd, a large tree planted in the green belt along Peace Boulevard in Naka-ku, Hiroshima City fell.
The fallen tree blocked part of the sidewalk and roadway, and the windshield and rear glass of one car on the roadway were broken, but according to the police, no one was injured.
A woman in her 1s who was driving the car said, "I was driving home when a tree suddenly fell down. With a thud, the windshield broke, so I fled outside."
The city of Hiroshima, which manages the roads and street trees, is coordinating with contractors to remove the trees and hopes to remove them as early as tonight.
According to an NHK employee who passed by when the tree fell, "I suddenly heard a thudding sound and then a loud sound like the ground was cracking. No one was walking around the tree. I was very surprised because this road is usually passed."
Peace Boulevard is a road that extends for about 20 kilometers from east to west through the center of Hiroshima City, and there is Peace Park and other places along the road, and it is a road that is said to be a symbol of the reconstruction of Hiroshima, the site of the atomic bombing.
