Crews have been working to remove a massive tree that unexpectedly fell onto a street in Dallas' Lakewood neighborhood, injuring a woman in an SUV on Monday.

You can't walk or drive down streets in Lakewood without passing under various oak and maple trees, among others, that provide a shady canopy over much of the neighborhood.

It's one of the reasons homeowners like Susan Carton moved there.

"It's just really pretty and people do a good job of keeping their trees pruned and in good condition," said Carton.
