Man grateful to be uninjured after large tree falls and crushes his car with him in it

Wayne George of North Carolina was out doing errands this past Tuesday when he was driving through a wooded area fairly close to his home. While on the road, in his car, he noticed something alarming. “I see a tree falling, a huge tree falling off to my right and it’s in a wooded area,” the 64-year-old told WGHP FOX 8 News. “I realized I can’t avoid it.” Mr. George didn’t avoid the tree, and his car got crushed, but somehow he’s doing just fine.

“In an instant, the transformer blew and it was a loud explosion,” Mr. George told WGHP. “There was fire on the ground and wires were everywhere and I thought, ‘I’ve got to get out of this car.’” He managed to crawl out before first responders arrived on the scene.

Mr. George, executive director of a Greensboro youth ministry, believes it’s a miracle he is unscathed from the incident. “I mean, it was divine intervention,” the North Carolina man told WGHP. “It was God.”
