Removing a tree at Hamilton home

A 61-year-old man is being evaluated at Marin General Hospital after being hit by a palm tree in Hamilton Monday morning.

A construction crew was cutting down an old palm tree in the 100 block of Nave Court when the tree collapsed on one of the workers, pinning him down, according to the Novato Fire Protection District.

The victim had gone inside the home and reappeared outside at the same time the tree was coming down. The extent of his injuries is unknown, although the construction worker complained of severe neck pain.
