Tree Tragedy Strikes Jackson Square: Teen Injured and Car Crushed

A 16-year-old boy was critically injured when a tree fell on him in Jackson Square, New Orleans. This incident follows a previous incident where a portion of the same tree's limbs fell, narrowly missing artists working nearby. Vendors in the area believe that the tragic accident could have been prevented, as the tree was visibly rotting and had been reported to an arborist. City officials are actively investigating the incident, and the vendor hopes that more will be done to prevent future tragedies.
