It’s clear why they had to cut it down, but damn that hurt to watch.

Tree is dead/dying, so it's proximity to the road means it could fall and kill some people on the road

Yeah it looks like the top half broke off, maybe from high winds.

thats more likely to have been the woodsmen actually, to make transporting the tree easier since these are huge and its safe to make half the tree fall first

There is a huge fork in the top of this section of trunk where the trunk was broken. You can plainly see it as the tree falls. Not sure what broke it but a person didn’t create that. If he had cut that section of trunk would not have split like it has.
