At least two people were killed after multiple trees were downed during severe weather in the San Francisco Bay Area on Tuesday, March 21, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

One person died and another sustained minor injuries when a tree fell on a car in Contra Costa County, officials said. Another fatality occurred in unincorporated San Mateo County when a tree fell on a driver due to strong winds, according to the California Highway Patrol officials cited by the San Francisco Chronicle.

This footage, which shows a separate incident in which a tree fell on a road, was filmed near Sunset Boulevard and Noriega Street in San Francisco on Tuesday.

Strong winds were expected in the area on Tuesday as a result of an atmospheric pressure drop, the National Weather Service said.
