One of Rice's live oak trees lost a limb Thursday when it was hit by a delivery truck traveling along the Inner Loop.

At 11:45 a.m., an Overnight Transportation Company truck tore a large limb off of an 80-year-old tree which shades the north side of the Inner Loop between Herring Hall and Wiess College. The driver misjudged the height of the low-hanging limb and of his truck, Campus Police Officer Robert Redman said. The truck's upper frame was also damaged.
