The tree, which was at least 40 feet tall, was reported to have fallen just after 1 a.m. at J&J Tires, 1611 S. Lilac Ave. in Rialto – and it caused a lot of damage as it went down.

Part of a nearby sidewalk was torn up by the trees roots, and the tree's branches landed on a building and a large truck trailer. It's not clear why the tree fell, but it did follow a day of rainfall in the area.

No injuries were reported.
