Fabian Lewkowicz/Daily Press A crew clears away a massive tree that fell on San Vicente Boulevard at 11th Street on Monday. At 3:31 p.m., a motorist was driving westbound on San Vicente Boulevard when the tree gave way. The driver was able to swerve and avoid the tree. However, the vehicle, a 1995 black BMW, sustained minor damage from a dislodged branch. The 40-foot coral tree, which was located in the center median of the boulevard, temporarily blocked the two westbound lanes.
