Man Killed by Fallen Tree Limb in Central Park

Heavy, wet snow caused a high branch to snap from a tree this afternoon on Literary Walk in Central Park. The limb, which onlookers estimated to weigh nearly 100 pounds, fell some 80 feet and landed on a 56-year-old man, killing him. Be very careful out there today, you guys.
