A tree fell down in a San Francisco neighborhood on Tuesday, causing damage to city infrastructure, the San Francisco Fire Department said.

Just before 5:30 p.m., the fire department said firefighters responded to Sacramento Street, between Jones and Leavenworth streets, for a report of a downed tree blocking the roadway.

When they arrived, they found a 30-foot tree had fallen, knocked down MUNI wires and landed on an Amazon delivery van. Its roots also broke a water main.

The fire department said San Francisco police, the Public Utilities Commission and San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency were at the scene alongside fire crews.
