The severity of the impairment must be vetted, and cleanup is the first step. Whatever the cause, accident damage to trees can be a simple fix of pruning off the remaining damaged portion or the entire trunk may be crushed. Large trees that overhang streets are also victims of large trucks that smash into the branches and break and distort them. These incidents are more common in winter or, unfortunately, during holiday revelry when the operator has had too much to drink. Lose control of your vehicle and, wham, you’ve hit a tree. It could happen to anyone on an icy street. Fixing a tree hit by a car is a wait-and-see prospect, as sometimes the injury repairs itself but more often limbs and other parts of the tree need to be taken off and some finger crossing has to happen to see if the entire plant will survive the mutilation.

Vehicle injury to trees can be particularly difficult to correct since the damage is often severe.

Traumatic injury to trees can be a serious and even deadly problem.
