PLEASANT HILL, Calif. (NBC, KYMA/KECY) - A large tree came crashing down during graduation ceremonies at Diablo Valley College in California Friday evening, injuring a dozen people.
College officials say the tree fell on a nearby walkway, hitting bystanders who were watching the commencement.
Two people were taken to a hospital. No word on their condition, but witness say they were talking while being loaded into ambulances.
