A large tree fell onto the front of a car during a severe thunderstorm in Summit Hill Monday night.

Shawn Hoben, Summit Hill fire chief, said the tree was about 30 feet tall and had a trunk about 20 inches thick. The driver of the car said the car struck the front, driver’s side corner of the car and deployed his air bag. He was not injured but the car sustained moderate damage.

The incident happened at about 8:45 p.m.

Members of the Summit Hill Fire Department used chain saws to cut up the large tree and dispose of it over the bank. The incident happened near the top of the White Bear Hill.

After cutting up this tree, the firefighters responded to another tree down, this time on the Summit Hill - Lansford hill. No vehicles were hit.

Trees also were reported down on Route 209 between Lansford and Nesquehoning and on Route 54 near Hometown. A fire call was answered by the Lansford Fire Department on East Ridge Street during the height of the storm.
