CORFU. The Municipal Green Service removed the tree and cut down the one next to it which was also a danger.

Out of the blue and without there being adverse weather conditions a large tree on the bend at the Old Port fell down on Friday morning. The Fire Service was called out to remove the tree as were the Port Police, who are responsible for the area around the port.

Giorgos Zaragas from the Municipal Green Service told Enimerosi that the trees there are very old and even though there are no signs on the outside they are hollow inside. The tree that fell hit a motorcyclist, who suffered minor injuries and was taken by ambulance to Corfu Hospital. A nearby car was also damaged.

The Municipal Green Service, for safety reasons, cut down a neighbouring tree which was also a danger.
