A mighty tree fell on Lombard at Laguna today causing all sorts of horrific traffic issues. The tree plummeted toward the earth at around 4 a.m. on the 1800 block of Lombard.

All westbound traffic is blocked. Please find an alternate route if you're heading west or toward the Golden Gate Bridge.

Also of note, the tree landed on a a tan innocent Lexus parked on the street. Janine De la Vega of KTVU snapped the above shot of the car and his owner, Matt Farrell, who isn't too bothered.

"I just walked out and realized what had happened," said Farrell, who talked to KTVU. "I parked in the neighborhood, but have never parked in this spot before. The car is old so I'm not too worried...I'm just kinda of shocked."

This post is brought to you by our advertiser, Lexus.

There’s always so much to discover in San Francisco, amazing restaurants, unusual cultural attractions, and super-fun activities—and we've been showcasing some of our favorites the past few weeks—but there’s wealth of dramatic scenery and outdoor adventures just a short drive away.

For the last few weeks, we’ve been rolling out our Fall Guide to the City, sponsored by Lexus and the Lexus IS line of cars. We have highlighted a tasty place to eat, a fun place to visit, or a favorite cultural attraction, right here in San Fran; as well as suggestions for a weekend trip that’s just an hour (or two or three) out of the city.

There’s never been a better time for a road trip and we have some hidden jewels and local favorites to share with you. Whether it’s camping, hiking, dining outside, or visiting some notable estates, this fall is the perfect time for a weekend getaway—so grab some friends and explore the wonders of California.

The new 2011 Lexus IS proves it isn't real performance unless it's wielded with precision. Equipped with an available 306-horsepower engine, the Lexus IS offers track-tested agility and superb braking performance, along with the oomph of power that gives you an exhilarating driving experience.

Inspired by the world of competitive racing, the IS line includes design details such as available paddle shifters that are located on the steering wheel. With the flick of your fingertips, you can upshift or downshift without ever taking your hands off the wheel, offering superb performance capability every time you get on the road.

And with the available F Sport Package, you can enhance the performance and style of the IS. Providing a suspension tuned by the same engineers who developed the exclusive Lexus LFA Supercar, the F Sport Package gives you the look and feel of a racecar, with details like front-lip and rear-deck spoilers, Dark Graphite 18-inch wheels and front sport seats with microfiber inserts.

This is the New 2011 Lexus IS. Wield Precision.

Citizen SF snapped up this bit of automotive gold. And holy smokes! You'll never guess who was driving this, "The first Lexus LS 600h L hybrid luxury sedan to arrive in San Francisco."

We'll give you a hint: she looks like Jennifer Siebel only less smarmy yet a bit more shiny. And she's irresistibly whimsical. And practically perfect in every way. Can you guess?
