A student's 1991 Honda Accord was damaged Tuesday after a tree limb fell while groundskeepers were trimming the tree.

University employees were trimming a tree on the west side of Cochise Residence Hall, 1018 E. South Campus Dr., because there had been previous problems with branches falling down.

The employee reported that he cut a branch, and before he could catch it, it fell hitting the bed of his crane-style truck. The branch flipped off the truck and struck the vehicle, shattering the rear window and scratching the trunk.
