Residents said there was no rain and little wind when the incident occurred. One man suffered minor scratches.
The tree's trunk blocked almost the entire width of Dinh Tien Hoang Street, while several branches extended onto the pavement in front of nearby homes. The incident occurred during rush hour, causing traffic congestion in the area.

After receiving reports of the incident, Tan Dinh Ward authorities quickly cordoned off the site and worked with employees of the city's tree management company to trim the branches and remove the tree, ensuring safety and easing traffic.
