Wow....not much left......No injuries luckily...



I suppose if my jeep was ready to go to off-roading heaven,..I'd much rather it get squashed by a giant redwood than wrecked in a big city, or shot up by gangs...

It happened in Kalifornia. I suspect by this time, the Jeep owner has been presented with a bill for the Sequoia and a citation for parking where the tree could hit an SUV.
