[Reporter Lin Minzhen/Taichung Report] In December, the northeast monsoon was strong. A hundred-year-old banyan tree on Chenggong East Road in front of Chenggong Ridge in Taichung was defeated by strong gusts and broke in the middle. The low temperature of 10 degrees in the morning and the strong wind saw off the residual branches of the trees that occupied the road, and some roads were resumed. A cordon was set up to avoid affecting the safety of the road users. The city cleaning team was also notified to dispatch machines to remove them.

At around 6 a.m. on the 19th, some people reported that a road tree near Chenggong Ridge had collapsed. After Sanhe Police Station Director Yang Rulu arrived at the scene, he saw that the collapsed area of ​​the old banyan tree had affected the traffic at the intersection. , So he immediately took the saw and turned into a lumberjack, sawing off the tree stumps that occupied the road, and restored part of the road to traffic.
