Oh no, that is awful and presumably a write off based on cost to repair, I would be gutted. Bye bye car 52264.

Let's hope his insurance company are all over it and don't mess him about in such circumstances.
...he says with more hope than conviction.
I had a similar size tree come down and smash the granite garden table we'd been sat at with the neighbours only the previous evening.
It drove the metal chair legs straight through the decking.
"Things" can be replaced - however gutted he must feel right now.

That's horrible...
On the positive side it's a car not people injured. Former can fairly easily be replaced with just a bit of financial pain

I have a garden with trees everywhere... .. in 2018 I felt a bit odd during high winds, I saw the fir trees oscillating in the wind.
So I moved the car that was parked there : five minutes later the top of two trees [ each pieces of 7m ] broke and crashed in the
area where the car had been parked. Same week I let the guy with the chain saw cut the top 7m of all other fir trees as a precaution..

Dan, if you ever “feel a bit odd” about my car please let me know!
A lucky escape

That is really bad. You must feel awful. Please let use know how you get along with the insurance/replacement etc. Even if the car's replaced, losing something you've grown fond of is heartbreaking and the insurance will never pay near what the actual car is worth to that spec.
My insurance will only pay out half of what it will cost me to replace mine brand new with the same level of spec !

@ SCM,
I don't have GAP insurance and in fact never thought of investigating that here in South Africa. It's not something we typically look at. Over here we have a "market value" which is what the car's worth after depreciation etc based on age and that's what the insurers use as the "pay out value" in the event of total loss.
I'll have a look if anyone offers a GAP cover.
But anyway, it's still not something any of us want to go through. I hope Chris keeps us UTD on how it pans out.
