The tree came down just after 8 p.m. off North Vermont and Vista Del Valley Drive in Los Feliz, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.

It occurred during a sold-out show for the band Khruangbin.

A 35-year-old woman was taken to a hospital with a lower leg injury, according to the fire department. Her injury was not life-threatening.

Rangers with the L.A. Department of Recreation and Parks searched the cars but found no one trapped inside.

The tree damaged about 30 cars in total, the fire department said.

It's unclear exactly what may have caused the tree to come down.
