A male teenager was critically injured after a large branch of an oak tree snapped off and fell on him Friday afternoon in Jackson Square.
The teen was rushed to the hospital, where he received treatment for his injures. His condition isn’t known at this time.
It’s not clear what caused the large branch to break off from the tree. Witnesses at the scene heard screaming and a crowd gathered at the scene to and pulled away debris in an attempt to rescue the teenager.
Shortly after the incident, a bucket truck was at the scene, where workers were seen cutting down the rest of the tree.
