Couple escapes death from fallen tree by mere centimetres

BUTTERWORTH: A married couple cheated death as a large tree crushed their car, missing them by mere centimetres, in yet another incident involving falling trees in Penang.

The husband was driving his six-month pregnant wife, who had chosen to sit in the rear – a decision that saved her life because the tree’s main branch of at least 30cm in diameter crumpled their car roof as it crashed squarely onto the front passenger seat.
