A 100-year-old tree collapsed on a home in Lakewood Sunday morning, West Metro Fire Rescue officials said.

Crews were notified of the incident, which occurred on South Upham Street, about 10:30 a.m. The tree collapsed under the weight of the snow, causing the roof to buckle. There were people inside the house when the tree fell, but no one was injured.

West Metro Fire Rescue crews were unable to remove the tree, so they enlisted the help of a crane.

By 5:10 p.m., they had finished chopping up the tree and removed it from the structure, according to Denver7.
