Surveillance video captured from a gas station in Chester County shows the moment a tree came smashing down on an SUV on Monday morning along Pennsylvania Route 52.

Officials identified the driver of the SUV as 40-year-old Christina Mattoscio, who was wearing a seatbelt at the time of the incident. Mattoscio did sustain injuries and was later taken to a nearby hospital, according to Pennsylvania State Police.   

CBS News Philadelphia obtained the video from a KARCO gas station in the 1600 block of East Street Road in Kennett Square.

The footage shows a 2017 Ford Escape stopped behind another vehicle. Seconds later, a tree came crashing down on the back of the SUV on Lenape Road before East Street Road in Pennsbury Township. 

“I was scared someone was hurt, and then when I saw her jump out of the car, I was relieved,” said John Debow.

Debow, who was working on the air conditioning system on the gas station’s roof, said it’s a miracle no one was seriously hurt. 

“God helped whoever was in the car escape without injury,” he said. 

CBS News Philadelphia went to the impound lot where the SUV now sits. The remaining wreckage of the car still had leftover tree bark from the fall on top of its now caved-in roof.

The gas station owner, who did not want to be identified, spent part of the day cleaning up debris. He said he’s grateful but concerned for the driver, adding that he also worries about more trees falling along the busy stretch of Route 52.

“There are a lot of trees that can fall down at any time. … Last month,…

KENNETT SQUARE, Pa. (WPVI) — A near-death experience was caught on camera outside of a gas station in Chester County, Pennsylvania.

It happened on Monday morning when a massive tree came crashing down on top of a car on Lenape Road in Kennett Square.

Amazingly, the woman was able to open her door and get out of her car. She then runs to the driver in front of her, seemingly dazed and clutching her head.

John De Bow watched it all. He was on the roof of a Karco gas station across the street, checking the HVAC unit when it happened.

“She almost died. It was inches away from her death,” said De Bow. “I heard cracking, and then I looked over and I saw it starting to fall, and I’m like, ‘Oh my God.'”

The tree was so big, he was worried it would hit him from across the street.

The trunk exploded as it crashed in the parking lot.

Workers were busy cleaning up the debris left behind.

De Bow has been worried about something like this. He noticed the dead tree before it fell and says others will likely come down.

“If you look at these other trees up here, they’re all dead, ready to fall down,” he said.

Connor McGivney is a certified arborist who works for Jake’s Tree Service in Glen Mills. He said he could clearly tell that the tree had been dead for years.

McGivney says this is a reminder for people to keep an eye on the trees on their property.

He says while PennDOT is responsible for the road, the property owner has to handle whatever is on their land.

Action News was told by both the neighboring homeowner and the construction company that’s housed near the property that the tree wasn’t their responsibility.

The Trent House Association will host a talk by Karelle Hall, a member of the Nanticoke Indian Tribe of Delaware and an expert and activist in the revitalization of the Nanticoke and Lenape languages and cultures. On Saturday, April 5, 2025, at 2 pm Dr. Hall will describe the work being done to restore the availability of squash cultivated by the Lenape and Nanticoke people. This free talk will be given in the Trent House Visitor Center at 15 Market Street, Trenton, New Jersey. Free parking is available at the rear of the property off William Trent Place.

Dr. Karelle Hall holds a doctorate in anthropology from Rutgers University and is a member of the Nanticoke language revitalization team, reclaiming Nanticoke words, concepts, cultural teachings, prayers, and songs. This team has published a beginner Nanticoke language book titled “Once It Has Been Spoken…It Cannot Be Unspoken: Kutiikiitowaakanun.”

During her talk Dr. Hall will describe the work being done to cultivate ancestral varieties of corn, beans, and squash and reconnect Lenape and Nanticoke people with these foods and foodways. She will connect this work with the broader effort to revitalize the language and cultural practices of these tribal communities who were the first to call what is now known as New Jersey their homeland.

Recordings of Dr. Hall’s previous talks for the Trent House – “Lenape Relationship with the Natural World” and “Ties That Bind: Nanticoke and Lenape Language and Revitalization” can be found on the Trent House website at https://www.williamtrenthouse.org/videos.html. The William Trent House Museum is a National Historic Landmark in the Crossroads of the American Revolution National…

Actor Román Zaragoza, who stars as the character Sass in the CBS comedy “Ghosts,” is sharing details about his character’s struggling love life and how the show has approached incorporating Lenape culture.

“He’s a hopeless romantic. He wants to be loved. He wants to feel that love, and I think because he died so young that he still has that young heart. He’s an old soul, but young heart,” Zaragoza said in an interview with “CBS Mornings” about Sass.

Zaragoza revealed it was partially his idea for his character to be a virgin.

“We talked about it for awhile, and I pitched it because I was curious, because they were leading up to the fact that I feel like he was going to be a virgin, and then I think that something came out that he wasn’t, and I was like, ‘I think it’s funnier if he is.'”

In this week’s episode, another ghost brings back Joan, a potential love interest for Sass, who is a Lenape ghost.

“As a Native actor, it’s hard. A lot of the time, you get cast as an actor and as a consultant and you’re like, you know, I’m not Lenape. I’m not an expert on Lenape history or culture.”

Zaragoza credits the “Ghosts” showrunners for bringing someone in who is Lenape and an expert on its culture.

“Not every set does that, and I just gotta really thank Joe Port and Joe Wiseman, but we brought in Joe Baker who is the executive director of the Lenape Center … and he’s been just an incredible asset to our show,” Zaragoza said. Baker is also an enrolled member of the Delaware Tribe of Indians, according to the Lenape Center.

Beyond his character, Zaragoza joked about his height. While he stands at 5’10,” a Google search claims he’s…
