Riddle Run Road in Springdale Township closed to traffic after this tree came down on Thursday, July 11, 2019.

A large tree fell across both lanes of Riddle Run in Springdale Township on Thursday night, and the road remained closed to motorists Friday morning.

PennDOT was called to handle removing the tree.

“Usually firefighters handle it, but this one is too large,” said Allegheny Valley Regional Police Patrolman Craig Cummings.

Cummings said the tree fell about a quarter-mile from Valley View Drive.

A PennDOT spokesman wasn’t immediately available.
