Motorists and pedestrians traversing Lower Park Street are thanking their lucky stars after heavy lunchtime showers toppled a large tree opposite the Lapeyrouse Cemetery near the Powergen plant. The fallen tree blocked the entire roadway and traffic had to be diverted. Police and Fire Officers and a team from the Port of Spain City Corporation responded. The tree was cut up and the roadway re-opened to traffic. The heavy lunchtime showers also caused flash flooding along Wrightson Road which resulted in gridlock traffic. No one was injured in the mishap.
