PUNE: A 75-year-old autorickshaw driver and a 34-year-old pedestrian suffered injuries after a huge tree fell opposite KEM hospital in Rasta Peth on Friday evening.
Seven vehicles, including five cars, were also damaged by the tree’s fall. In the last 12 hours, as many as 15 tree falls have been reported in different parts of the city. Intense spells of rain throughout the day causing waterlogging threw normal life out of the gear.
An officer from the Pune fire brigade said the tree fall occurred at Rasta Peth happened around 3.30pm. The huge tree fell on the autorickshaw and five cars and a bicycle. “Autorickshaw driver Miyalal Jamadar was stuck inside his vehicle,” the officer said.
