Tree falls onto Durham home

DURHAM (WTVD) -- A Durham family had to be relocated after a giant tree fell onto their house.

It happened on Saturday in the 600 block of Bon Air Avenue, off of Roxboro Road.

It's unclear how the tree fell, but it was not weather-related.

The Red Cross was called to help the family because the house is now uninhabitable. The power and gas companies were also called.

The residents let our crew on the scene into the home to get a closer look at the damage. The tree fell into the kitchen and left a gaping hole in the roof.

No one was injured. It is not yet known how long it will take to repair the home.
