Was on CBS news last night. Reporting large rotted out Elm tree fell across all 4 lanes of traffic during the rush. SUV in SB lanes lost control and flipped. Sedan in NB lane took direct hit but occupants walked away. 2 fatalities on scene (presumably from SUV) with 1 pediatric trauma to WMC by Medivac.

CBS updating the report at 5pm. Couple was parents of pediatric trauma. Baby 6 months old reported now in fair condition after initially being critical. Mother was elementary school teacher in Bronx PS8 (?). Tree now reported as being an Ash tree (for those green thumbs out there). No word on who will be caring for the baby.
