Parents of Fallen Tree Victim Sue City of Newport Beach

The parents of a woman that was crushed by a tree while driving her car last year have filed wrongful death claims against the city of Newport Beach.

Two separate claims were filed in the last two weeks by Haeyoon Miller’s mother and father.

Her mother, Hyun Myung Suk, seeks damages for the minimum amount stated by law, or damages “well in excess of $10,000.”

The accident occurred when a 60-foot tree fell on Miller’s car at the intersection of Irvine Avenue and 17th Street and smashed her Hyundai while she was stopped at a red light.

The driver suffered severe injuries and later died in the hospital.

According to the lawsuits, the city was negligent in its care of the 10-ton, 70-foot-tall tree. The tree fell from Irvine Avenue’s median in September and crushed Miller’s sedan.

Eucalyptus trees had fallen in the area before and Suk claims that because of this, the city was aware of the dangers.

She also alleges that the city attempted to destroy the evidence by removing and destroying close to 100 eucalyptus trees throughout the area, just after the accident.

An investigation is now underway, although city officials refuse to release its contents.

Her parents also claim that emergency responders did not stabilize the tree after it fell which may have contributed to Miller’s death.

Witnesses said that at the scene of the accident, firefighters attempted to remove the tree, but they dropped it back on the car.

Brown, 43, was released from the holding cell about two hours later from the Van Nuys police station.

The two singers were divorced in 2007 after what can only be described as a tumultuous 14-year marriage. Brown has publically acknowledged his struggles with drugs and alcohol in the past as well as the numerous legal problems he has had due to the drug abuse.

Houston died on February 11 in the bathtub of her Beverly Hilton suite after she was found unresponsive. The official cause of death was listed as accidental drowning with contributing factors of cocaine abuse and heart conditions.

The boy had to be cut from the car and was then transported to a local hospital, where he remains in critical, but stable condition.

The driver, an 18-year-old, was speeding in his Toyota Corolla as he was heading south on Gilbert. He apparently lost control of the vehicle on the wet roadway after the heavy rains of this past weekend.

The driver was able to get out of the vehicle and call 911. He later complained of chest pains and was taken to the hospital for examination.

Gilbert was closed from Hughes to Pioneer Avenue until 7 in the morning.
