A woman who was killed when a 50-foot eucalyptus tree fell on her car in Costa Mesa was identified Thursday night as Haeyoon Miller, 29, the Orange County coroner's office said.
The coroner did not list a cause of death, citing a pending autopsy. Miller was a Tustin resident.
The accident occurred Thursday afternoon at 17th Street and Irvine Avenue.
The tree tumbled on what appeared to be a blue Hyundai Accent GS, crumpling the entire midsection. Workers on Thursday afternoon were cutting up the tree.
A Costa Mesa Urban Search and Rescue unit attempted to lift the tree, but it fell back down, according to witnesses.
