Man Suffers Minor Injuries After Wind Sends Tree Crashing Into Home In Delco
CLIFTON HEIGHTS, Pa. (CBS) -- The high winds sent a tree crashing down into a house in Clifton Heights, Delaware County Thursday morning.
It happened near Mill Road and Sycamore Avenue just before 5 a.m.
Homeowner Tom Foley says he was sleeping when the wind toppled the tree.
"I was sleeping the tree came through the side of the house. The branch went over the top of the house and swung into my bedroom. The window fell through and landed on my head," Foley said.
Foley says aside from a few scrapes, he is doing just fine.
Luckily, his wife fell asleep on the couch, so she wasn't in the bedroom when the branch came through.
As for the house, emergency crews told him it is safe to return.
