Keluarga gugat sejumlah bisnis di Austin atas insiden pohon kemiri tumbang yang mematikan

Keluarga seorang pria asal Texas telah mengajukan gugatan yang menuduh bahwa dua bisnis di Austin gagal merawat pohon berpenyakit yang menimpanya hingga tewas di sebuah restoran barbeku.

Kirk Foyle, 64 tahun, meninggal dunia pada 20 Mei setelah sebuah pohon kemiri menimpanya saat ia sedang makan di area teras luar ruangan Green Mesquite BBQ di Austin. Pohon yang digambarkan sebagai "Widow Maker" (pembawa maut) itu patah saat badai terjadi pada malam 19 Mei.

Keluarga Foyle mengajukan gugatan tersebut pekan lalu terhadap Green Mesquite dan bisnis tetangganya, Aspen Hatter. Gugatan itu menyatakan bahwa kedua perusahaan mengetahui atau seharusnya mengetahui kondisi pohon yang berbahaya dan membusuk di properti yang mereka kelola, namun tidak melakukan pemeriksaan, pemangkasan, atau penebangan.

Gugatan tersebut menuntut ganti rugi setidaknya $1 juta. Pengacara Shawn Brown mengatakan pemilik lahan yang bertanggung jawab harus merawat pohon yang sakit untuk mencegah tragedi serupa. Green Mesquite dan Aspen Hatter menolak untuk memberikan komentar terkait gugatan tersebut.
