The incident occurred near number 200 on Brutau street, in the Eixample district of Sabadell. The fall, reported to the Sabadell Fire Department at 12:08 p.m., directly impacted the electrical wiring, causing significant material damage and forcing the closure of both directions of circulation.
A fire crew immediately deployed to the area to secure the site and begin removal work. Simultaneously, technicians from the electric company mobilized to assess the condition of the wiring and the pavement, which may also have been affected.
According to municipal sources, the tree fell while workers were carrying out paving work on the road, right around the tree's pit. This suggests that the construction work might have influenced the stability of the specimen.
The incident adds to a series of falling trees and lampposts recorded in Sabadell over recent weeks.
