What has his job to do with the accident 

[observer90210]

A bit confusing boys,  sorry....on reading the title, I first thought he slammed into a tree while driving a disabled persons cart in the airport premises !

I guess the name "Stinky Bean tree" is a lot sexier than Parkia if they had to name the innocent bystander tree at all.

Again, those darn jaywalking trees...

you gotta make the most of a good headline.... i often find that reading the headlines gives one clear interpretation, but then reading the article gives quite a different picture. I can't accept that this could be in any way a misunderstanding or not intended.

No 'claim' of brake failure? 

 

Most unusual.
