Kota Kinabalu: The roof of a Perodua Myvi parked on the side of the road near Taman Ujana Rimba Tropika in Luyang was crushed by a fallen tree on Tuesday.

The Sabah Fire and Rescue (FRD) Operations Centre reported receiving the call at 10.47am.  “No casualties were reported. An operation to cut and remove the fallen tree was carried out by City Hall and the firemen,” said a spokesperson for the agency.

In a separate case, the roof of a house in Kg Takis, Papar was also victim to a fallen tree.

The source said the kitchen roof sustained damage from a fallen durian tree in the incident at about 9.30am.

A team of eight from the Papar FRD Station cut the tree with a chain saw and removed the logs. No casualties were reported either.

The Sabah FRD responded to four emergency calls regarding fallen trees on Tuesday. The other two cases involved road obstruction.
