According to pictures sent in by eyewitnesses, one of them appears to be a black Vios car, with the tree trunk having landed across the roof over its back passenger seats.
The car was described to be badly damaged with windows broken and body crushed. However, there have been no reports of injuries so far.
According to Mr Michael Lee, 51, the driver of the black vehicle, the car was stationary and he was waiting at a light when the tree fell.
He was the only passenger in the car at that time.
The second car involved had its car tyres caught by the branches of the fallen tree.
However, the female driver in the second car managed to dislodge them and drive off.
