4 injured after large tree falls in San Francisco

Four people suffered minor injuries when a tree fell on their vehicle in the Filmore District during heavy winds and rain Friday, the San Francisco Fire Department said.

The tree, estimated at 20 to 25 feet tall, toppled onto the vehicle on Golden Gate Avenue just west of Laguna Street about 5:15 p.m., Capt. Justin Schorr said.

The four people were taken to a local hospital, he said.

Laguna Street was closed and traffic on Golden Gate was being rerouted, Schorr said.
