Strong winds whipped across Southern
California on Tuesday night, toppling trees -- including one that fell onto a
moving car -- and causing widespread power outages.
Gusts reached 31 mph in the Topanga
Hills and 85 mph at Whitaker Peak, and the high winds are expected to continued
until noon Wednesday, according to the National Weather Service.
The strong gusts pushed over a massive
pine tree onto a Mercedes Benz traveling about 8:30 p.m. on Lexington Road in
Beverly Hills. The driver was taken to an area hospital to be treated for his
injuries.
Winds also wreaked havoc in West
Hollywood, Beverly Crest and the San Fernando Valley after power was knocked
out for thousands of residents.
In West Hollywood, about 3,000 Southern
California Edison customers lost power at about 8:40 p.m. Power was out for
nearly 700 customers in the Beverly Crest neighborhood, according to the Los
Angeles Department of Water and Power.
