NYC weather: Man killed, others injured due to falling trees throughout Tri-State after powerful storms [Video]

NEW YORK (WABC) — At least one person was killed and several others were injured after a powerful storm system moved through the Tri-State area.

Downed trees across the area caused a slew of problems, knocking out power lines and also falling on roads, cars and homes.

In East Orange, New Jersey, a man was killed when a tree fell on him in his backyard around 8 p.m. Wednesday.

Juan Jose Angeles Lopez was trying to secure the backyard before the worst of the storm approached when the massive tree cracked, leaving him buried.

His family said he was the father of a 2-year-old and his wife is seven months pregnant. She spent the night hospitalized and was monitored after she was overwhelmed by grief.

In another part of New Jersey, in Park Ridge, a woman was seriously injured by a tree that fell through her Park Avenue house.
