HUDSON, N.H. (WHDH) - A Londonderry woman escaped serious injury Tuesday when a massive tree came crashing down on her vehicle as she was driving down a busy street in Hudson, New Hampshire.
“I was pretty much shaken up,” Sue Jutras said of the moment a tree tipped over and exploded across the front of her car. “It was a freaky accident. It really just happened so fast.”
Jutras said she didn’t have time to react before the tree slammed through the hood and shattered her windshield.
“I just kind of held my breath and hoped for the best,” she said. “I feel very fortunate.”
Employees at Stellar Motor Group came rushing out when they heard the tree come crashing down.
Stellar Motor Group worker Evan O’Hanion described the sound as a “crumbling smash.”
Police say it was pure luck that Jutras walked away unscathed.
“She’s very fortunate she came out unhurt,” Hudson Police Capt. Bill Avery said.
