On 01/20/2017, at 1:30 PM the Chula Vista Police Department responded to Chula Vista Middle School located at 415 Fifth Avenue for a report of several students struck by a tree that fell on school grounds.
Officers arrived on scene and found that four students had been struck by a large falling Peppertree located in the school courtyard. All four students complained of back and head pain as a result of being hit by the tree. The students were transported by paramedics to Children's Hospital for evaluation.
