A tourist was critically injured when a 30-foot tree branch fell on her while she was walking in Washington Square Park on Monday evening, law enforcement sources told The Post.
The woman, a 55-year-old from Virginia, was with her teenage son when the giant limb crashed down on her at about 8:50 p.m., the sources said.
She was rushed to Bellevue Hospital in critical condition, law enforcement sources added.
Police are investigating the injury but believe it was an accident, the sources said.
A Parks Department spokesperson said in an email they would inspect the tree’s condition first thing Tuesday morning.
