Video has captured the moment a huge gum tree branch fell just 10 seconds after a woman walked underneath it in Adelaide’s east.
Eva Zafiropoulos was walking on Cuthero Street in Kensington Gardens before the tree branch fell onto a car about 6.30pm yesterday.
Zafiropoulos said she had one headphone in at the time and heard a crack.

“I just keep thinking if I had have left the house a couple of seconds earlier, I would have been right there when it fell so definitely in a bit of shock and a bit shaky as well,” Zafiropoulos said.
The tree fall caused a car below to suffer a few dents but no one was injured.
It comes after a Tesla driver narrowly avoided serious injury after his car was crushed by a huge pine tree in Melbourne‘s south-east yesterday.

Last week, a falling branch killed 22-year-old Alifia Soeryo in the Adelaide Parklands.
It’s prompted a debate about how suburban trees are assessed by local governments.
9News has contacted council and state government for comment.
