Two poplar trees fell onto parked cars in Mykolaiv

Yesterday in Mykolaiv, two large poplar trees fell in the courtyard of a building at 54A 3rd Slobidska Street after heavy rain and wind. Photos show the trees falling onto parked cars. No one was injured.

A city resident reported the incident on the Contact Center of the Mykolaiv City Council page. She said strong winds caused the trees to fall.

Two more poplars remain nearby, and local residents say they are in a dangerous condition. The trees are severely tilted and pose a threat to passersby. Residents fear that another gust of wind or further bad weather could bring them down too, injuring people or causing other damage.

Residents of the courtyard are urging the responsible city services and municipal companies to inspect the hazardous poplars as a matter of urgency. They are asking for the trees to be felled or pruned to prevent further incidents.
