Giant tree crushes Monrovia home, trapping residents inside

Neighbors recalled the terrifying moment a giant pine tree toppled over and crushed a home in Monrovia, trapping the residents inside. The tree fell on the home located on Mountain Avenue and Foothill Boulevard around 7 p.m. on Wednesday night.

The home’s renter, Shelly, said it sounded like a bomb had exploded as the giant tree uprooted and came crashing down onto the roof. She was immediately surrounded by a blanket of dust and was stunned and terrified, not realizing what had happened.
