Tree Crashes onto Road, Blocks Pinson, Alabama

0:00It's April 30th. This is Birmingham News Today, your AI-powered local news. A massive tree crashed down onto power lines in Pinson, Alabama, blocking Tyler Loop Road, and possibly igniting a fire in a nearby brick house last Thursday. The trees sprawled right across the road and tangled up in the lines, turning the whole spot into a serious hazard with no way in or out for now. Fire crews from the center point fire district rushed in to battle the flames of the house, the details on the damage or any injuries are still coming in, no one saying yet what made the tree drop, or when folks can expect that road to reopen, keeping everyone on edge. Crews are still on scene handling the mess, so driver steer clear of Tyler Loop until it's all cleared up.
