<p>An unidentified woman was sent to the hospital today with life-threatening injuries after part of a redwood tree fell and smashed her at <a href="http://www.sterngrove.org/">Stern Grove</a> today. It seems, <a href="http://www.kcbs.com/pages/2000883.php?contentType=4&amp;contentId=1883782">according to KCBS</a>, that the woman had just walked her dog, who was not hurt, and as she was getting into her Subaru Outback near Concert Meadow, "part of a tree broke off and fell," crushing her as it came plummeting down.</p>

<p>The woman was whisked away to San Francisco General Hospital by paramedics, <a href="http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/04/14/MN6610598L.DTL&amp;tsp=1">in critical condition</a>.</p>
