"He stopped for a minute, and just a few seconds later, the tree came tumbling down , crushing seven cars in its wake," he added.
A shaken Ndombi said that it was a terrible day for him and other car owners who had been affected.
Ambani questions why insurance refused to pay for damages
He narrated what further took place:
"It was so abrupt; a blue gum tree does not have tap roots that go into the earth, it's roots are spread like for beans and they are very easy to uproot," he said.
"I was shaken, but I am grateful to be alive. Sadly, it will cost me an arm and leg to repair my car since my insurance does not cover such disasters," said a sad Ndombi.
He ended by asking people with cars never to park them under trees during the rainy season.
"Why don't insurance policies cover such calamities; they are unforeseen.They should just understand. Mhhhhhhh but do I say," said Ambani.
