A 35-foot-long tree limb injured a tourist from Virginia who was visiting New York City's Washington Square Park on Monday.
The limb fell from a London plane tree in Washington Square Park, fracturing the skull and spine of Penny Chang, 55, who was in the city with her 19-year-old son, Jacob.
Chang was taken to Bellevue Hospital where she was classified as being in stable but critical condition on Tuesday, the CBS News reported.
Last year, a woman sued the city for $200million after a tree with rotting roots fell on her and her three children while she was walking through Central Park, DailyMail.com previously reported.
