The tree appears to have
fallen because of rain and wind in the area,
Quesada said. No crash was reported and no
injuries occurred when he tree fell.
Maintenance crews were
called and are cutting the tree 1-foot-wide to
remove it, Quesada said.
As of 9:30 a.m., the
northbound lane remained closed, while the
southbound lane was open, she said.
Commuters are being
flagged by maintenance workers in order to let
both lanes of traffic pass through the debris,
she said.
