Actress Madeleine Stowe escaped a very close call when a large tree fell on her car, just minutes after she got out.

Stowe had reportedly just arrived at her home in Pacific Palisades Wednesday night, parked the car and walked inside her home.

A few minutes later, she heard a loud sound and then her car alarm going off.

After rushing outside, she saw a large tree had fallen on top of her car, crushing it.

The large tree ended up blocking part of the street.
