Oregon resident pinned to recliner after downed tree crashes through home

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – A large tree knocked down by high winds damaged a house in Oregon and pinned a resident to their chair on Thursday, officials said.

Portland Fire and Rescue crews were first dispatched to the home in southeast Portland shortly before 12:30 p.m., though the crew was temporarily detained after coming across a different downed tree on the way, blocking the engine from going further.
