Large Tree Down on Montague Street, Brooklyn Heights

 A truck owned by North Star Food Service backed into a mature pear tree on Montague Street in Brooklyn Heights about 9 a.m. this morning, ripping it out of the ground by its roots and knocking it down.

Fire fighters from Ladder Company 118 arrived about ten minutes after the tree fell and sawed it into pieces.

Very sad.

UPDATE: More at the Brooklyn Eagle.
