Heavy snow brings tree down onto NJ house
EDISON — The weight of the heavy snow caused a large tree to crash onto a house early Monday morning.
Maria Koundourakis, 66, and her adult son, escaped from the home on Hillcrest Avenue unharmed around 2:50 a.m. according to Edison Deputy Fire Chief Andy Toth. Branches from the tree went through two floors and a section of the garage collapsed. Water and electric service was shut off.
