That tree was an accident waiting to happen, however, the truck driver should have known the clearance of the truck and a simple tape measure would have let him know he was too high. I do agree, if you take a look around Bristol\Warren, there are a lot of tree limbs, large, heavy limbs, waiting to fall on electric lines or other stuff like pedestrians and traffic. I see some trees trimmed above and below electric lines, leaving some large limbs in between. Just take a ride down Narrows Rd. Sandy knocked a lot of trees and limbs down, just off the road. As much as I hate cutting any greenery down, we also have to be prudent about future costs associated with power outages and other damage or, god forbid, an accident that hurts or kills anyone.
