A woman was killed inside of a car that was crushed by a large falling tree in Tustin. It happened amid dangerously high winds slamming many parts of the Southland Monday. Orange County Fire Authority firefighters responded to the 14000 block of Red Hill Avenue at about 9:15 a.m. Fire officials said the eucalyptus tree fell onto the vehicle, dwarfing the car underneath and killing the 34-year-old victim inside. The coroner's office identified the victim as Dennet Bermas of Tustin. Her family members say they called her "Denden." Family members said she was a nurse at an assisted living facility and was on her way to work when the tragedy happened. A neighbor told Eyewitness News that he had said "hi" to Bermas just moments before the incident. He said he heard a loud snapping and crashing sound before running over to help.
