The site was attended by elements of Municipal Civil Protection, Mazatlan Firefighters, Municipal Police and Transit who upon arrival were warned that a woman had already been released from a recent model van with Durango plates by the same owners. The area was cordoned off and traffic was diverted by Municipal Transit elements over Flamingos Street to rejoin Gaviotas Street.Federal Electricity Commission workers arrived to cut off electricity and began pruning work on the tree.
This tree is protected as it is of the species known as Rubber, that is why we had not been able to cut as it is not allowed, mentioned a CFE worker
Park and Garden Staff also attended to hasten the pruning of the tree and be able to remove the shrubs and cut logs.

“I stayed inside the van, my husband got off to pick up some material when he suddenly started to sound like a short and thundered the wires and the tree fell on top of the van and I stayed inside, my husband and someone else were the ones who helped me out as I thought something ugly was going to happen to me because maybe the car might have been lit,” said Laura “N,” who had been trapped. A total of approximately six units were damaged by the leafy tree that, when it said, was 45 to 46 years old, that it had been planted. Workers from a cable television company also flocked to the site as the wiring was also damaged. Businesses and houses near the site remain without light for at least the next four hours. The owners of the damaged vehicles were uncertain as to who would be responsible for paying the damage suffered to their units.
