SUFFOLK, Va — All traffic on Route 58 West at the Route 460 exit in Suffolk is blocked due to a downed tree, according to city officials.
The city says as of 5 p.m., there's a large tree across the westbound side.
The city shared pictures of the incident, which shows a car under the tree. The incident also left two people with minor injuries, the city added.
Suffolk's fire chief told News 3 that two people were hurt, but didn't want to go to the hospital.
It took over an hour for crews to clear the scene at the Pruden Boulevard exit, allowing traffic to pick back up.
News 3 also went to Virginia Beach where a tree fell through a homeowner's back fence and patio.
"It’s huge. It was right after midnight. I called the homeowners insurance," Jostine, a Virginia Beach resident said.
She's been living off Baker road in Virginia Beach for 30 years, but only built her patio a month ago. Then she says early this morning, this tree came crashing down.
"I was asleep and my dog heard it. My dog didn’t want to be in the area anymore. I asked myself ‘what is that. I’m going to see what’s going on.’ Then I got to my deck and saw it was a big tree," Jostine said.
