WICHITA, Kan. (KWCH) - A car was crushed by a tree during Wednesday night’s storm in northwest Wichita.

Danielle McVey that at around 2 a.m. Thursday, she was asleep inside her home on Westridge Court. Her mom and sister were awake and they saw the tree come down. Nobody was hurt, except for McVey’s feelings. Two other cars were damaged.

McVey said she only had her red Blazer for two years and had to wait a year to get it because of pandemic-era shortages. If that’s not enough, Thursday is McVey’s birthday.

“My reaction was like, ‘Are you kidding me?’ McVey said. “I just had to laugh so I didn’t cry. It’s my car. Bubbles is gone.”
