Family sues after falling tree branch kills man

The family of a man who was killed after a falling tree branch hit him in the head as he was riding a motorbike is suing Montgomery County for $6 million, saying the county was negligent in its job to trim the dead branch.

Colenester Jones was riding his motorbike on West Old Baltimore Road last summer in Boyds when a 19-foot tree branch fell on his head, his attorney said. He was 48 years old.
