News 12 obtained video of the moment a tree came crashing down on Suydam Street in Bushwick.

The tree appeared to have fallen on a car in the rain and lightning.

The car owner tells News 12 he was not inside the car when it happened.

A portion of Suydam Street is closed, and the downed tree and power lines are closed off by police tape.

Just blocks away, a tree also fell on top of cars on Irving Street in front of Ollie's Ice cream.

Video obtained by News 12 shows the tree come crashing down and people screaming.
