You can see the tree clearly in picture 13, as well as the picture 18 I
mentioned before. There are many similar trees at intervals all along
the street. Several of the pictures, like number 11, show how trees
dominate the skyline along there.

According to lots of witnesses the tree apparently fell down in front
of the bus while it was driving along.

A tree didn't fall down - they are very big. What must have happened is
a branch breaking off. A broken off branch (about three inches in
diameter) can be clearly seen in the road. Most of the pictures show it
near the front offside of the bus, but by the time I arrived it had been
moved to behind the bus.
