[VIDEO] Giant tree fell on two vehicles in front of National Museum after downpour

KUALA LUMPUR – A giant tree, believed to be more than half a century old, collapses in front of the National Museum after heavy rain, crashing one car’s roof and trunk and falling on a motorcycle.

It was reported that the motorist suffered minor injuries and was admitted to the hospital immediately; the Proton driver escaped unhurt.

As can be seen from a viral clip of the scene, the collapsed tree blocked the traffic on a busy highway in front of Muzium Negara, causing heavy traffic jam in the afternoon.
