A tree fell Tuesday morning on Kepler Road in DeLand. It struck two cars and sent one person to the hospital with minor injuries, the Florida Highway Patrol said.
A tree fell in a roadway near DeLand on Tuesday morning, striking two cars and sending the driver of one vehicle to the hospital with injuries, a Florida Highway Patrol official said.
Anitra Lark, 35, of Miami suffered minor injuries and was taken to Florida Hospital in DeLand, said FHP Sgt. Kim Montes.
Lark was southbound on Kepler Road when a tree on the west side of the road fell on top of her car. The tree also struck a Chevy Tahoe driven by Steven Queen, 42, of Altamonte Springs. Queen did not get injured, Montes said.
The tree fall closed both lanes of Kepler Road until a county tree removal crew cleared the way, Montes said.
The incident at Kepler Road and Poinsetta Lane was reported at 9:26 a.m., according to a dispatch log.
Initial reports to dispatchers indicated that a woman was pinned inside the car after the tree fell on the vehicle, the dispatch log shows.
Troopers are working to determine who owns the land from where the tree fell, Montes said.

WHEATON Trees on public parkways affected by the emerald ash borer may be gone by May.
The Wheaton City Council unanimously voted to approve almost $2 million for the trees' removal during a Jan. 20 meeting.
In August 2014, city staff proposed adding more than $850,000 to the 2014-15 budget for the program, said City Manager Don Rose, but held off.
"We never presented [the council] with a budget amendment because we were actually hoping to even request more money," he said.
After the approval, the city is allocating about $1.9 million to combat the invasive insect that infests ash trees and slowly kill them, according to city documents.
When Rose originally asked for the additional funds in the fall, the city still had several thousand of the 6,500 previously identified at-risk ash trees to take down. To expedite the process, the city hired outside workers to supplement Wheaton crews. Now it could be done in only months.
Some ash trees in the community are not yet infected, Rose said, and most are being treated by adjoining property owners. However, treating trees isn't a long-term solution.
"What we were told is that treatment is OK for a while, but you're just delaying it," said Mayor Mike Gresk.
Rose and City Attorney James Knippen also told the council it was not legally obligated to replace any trees on private property.
The council has previously supported plans calling for expanding its tree replacement program. If the city decides to sponsor replacements for its trees, it would cost about $1.2 million over the next eight years, Rose said in August.

Eco terrorists beware planting a tree on city property could soon result in a hefty new fine.
A tough new bylaw that will be reviewed Monday by city councils planning and environment committee packs new fines and increased charges for messing with trees in the Forest City.
Other changes in the proposed tree protection bylaw include an increase in the cost of taking down a tree on city property and tickets for people who damage or remove trees.
Its part of protecting what we have, said Sara Rowland, an urban forester planner with the city. We should be giving them extra protection.
Under the current rules, a person who cuts down or damages a tree on city land is given a summons and has to appear in court.
A ticket, with fines ranging from $300 to $1,000 depending on the offence, would speed the process and make it easier for the city to administer the bylaw, Rowland said.
If a tree is taken down by a third party consensually, such as a developer, the developer has to pay for the removal cost. Under the proposed bylaw, they would have to pay for the value of that tree in addition to the removal cost of anywhere from $500 to $3,300. That replacement value could be in the tens of thousands of dollars if the tree is mature, Rowland said.
The change is aimed at builders who remove a tree on city land for a development.
If a developer wants to remove that asset, they now just pay a removal fee, thats it. Under this proposed bylaw they will now have to provide compensation for the appraised value of the tree, Rowland said.
Builders now pay for removal of other infrastructure such as light standards and utility poles, and trees will be no different, she said.

Shoppers at the two Dollar Tree stores in Berkeley will no longer find sodas and sugary drinks on theirshelves following the passage of the soda tax last November.
In the Dollar Tree discount store on 2440 Shattuck Ave., the refrigerators once full of soda bottles are now stocked with water. The other Dollar Tree store in Berkeley, on 1284 San Pablo Ave., has also removed its sugary drinks.
Dollar Tree which sells a variety of products for $1 or less and has more than 5,200 stores in North America decided to pull out sodas in its Berkeley storeswhen the soda tax went into effect on Jan. 1, according to Randy Guiler, vice president of investor relations.

Due to the increased cost from the Berkeley sugary drinks and soda tax, we are no longer able to carry sugary drinks and soda at the one-dollar price point, Guiler said.
But visitors to Dollar Tree stores can still get a sugar fix of sorts. The store carries fruit juice, which is not subject to the one cent per ounce tax.
Berkeley became the first city in the United States to pass a soda tax last November. Measure D, which drew national attention and supportive donors like former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg, passed overwhelmingly with 76% of the votes despite heavy opposition lobbying from the beverage industry.
BerkeleyCouncilman Laurie Capitelli, whohas been a main proponent of Measure D,was relieved to see the Dollar Tree stores replacing its soda selections with water bottles.
Im actually thrilled, Capitelli said. Im hoping other businesses will follow suit, and I hope they replace it with water bottles.
