GEORGE TOWN: It was a near-death escape for a woman and her son when she hit the brakes of the MPV she was driving to avoid an uprooted tree that nearly crushed her vehicle.
The woman, in her 30s, who was in the MPV with her son, believed to be between six and eight years old, said she was driving along the one-way Jalan Macalister when she noticed a huge uprooted angsana tree on the left side of the road about to fall.
