After the turmoil aroused by the accident which occurred on April 16, where a tree in the Tête d’Or park, in Lyon, had split on a mother and her 4-month-old infant, comes the time for investigations and the first results.
“A fungus” which would have “ravaged the tree from the inside” would be the cause of the accident, indicates in the columns of the Progress Nicolas Husson, deputy mayor of Lyon in charge of biodiversity and nature in the city. That’s why the tree suddenly broke.
This is the result of an internal investigation carried out by the city of Lyon and not the conclusions of the investigation opened by the Lyon public prosecutor’s office. The trees are checked every five years. A complete diagnosis of the trees in the park was planned for this Monday, April 25, adds the elected official.
