Rikers Officer Killed by Tree

Rikers Officer Killed by Tree Branch

"A correction officer driving to Rikers Island was killed yesterday when a tree branch fell on his car and crushed him, police said."

This is the third of fourth time I've heard of a tree branch killing someone in New York this summer. Seriously, word of caution: it's better to get wet than die. Don't seek cover under a tree (not that this guy did, but still).
