A close call was captured on camera after a U.S. Postal truck knocked over a tree which missed a man by inches in Center City over the weekend.
Jeremy Thompson, who recorded the incident, told NBC10 the tree was knocked over Saturday on the 2100 block of Locust Street. The video shows the truck backing up into the tree which falls over and almost hits a man walking by. The man escaped injury however and continued to walk down the sidewalk.
“It literally just snapped,” Thompson said. “It was like a twig. It was like a matchstick. I mean thank God no one got hurt.”
“”
In this photo it appears the tree is extended past the sidewalk and leaning toward the street.
Missed the poor guy walking down the sidewalk by “JUST INCHES”!!
Yes, inches.
About 120 of them!!!!
Journalism is DEAD in America!!!
Still, no good reason for carrier to be backing up.
