Giant 200-year-old tree collapses in Türkiye’s northwestern Bursa

Giant 200-year-old tree collapses in Türkiye’s northwestern Bursa

A large aircraft tree, estimated to be round 200 years previous, toppled onto the road within the Osmangazi district of Türkiye’s northwestern Bursa Wednesday morning with a loud noise because of the decay of its roots.

Police and hearth brigade groups had been dispatched to the accident scene.

The absence of passersby early within the morning hours prevented a possible catastrophe, Ihlas News Agency (IHA) reported.

Police officers who cordoned off the world for security additionally closed off the road as a precautionary measure.

Speaking concerning the incident, taxi driver Celal Erbaşlar stated, “The tree suddenly fell on its own. Trees deteriorate over time. The municipality performs the necessary maintenance, but the weight of the other tree behind has also shifted toward the road, and I believe it will also fall.”

“Thankfully, there were no people or vehicles passing by on the road, and no one was harmed. This area becomes very crowded due to the hot weather. Currently, the road is closed, and the fire brigade and police are conducting the necessary work. Hopefully, our road will reopen soon,” he stated.

After eradicating the elements of the aircraft tree, Çekirge Street was reopened to site visitors.
