Help ID'ing a Cactus Tree

Saw a unique looking cactus this morning on the way to work sitting at a stoplight. It was covered in small pink/red flowers and what appeared to be small red fruit as well. Unfortunately I could not grab a picture quick enough. However luckily there are some decent Google Street views of the plant. Google image search turned up tree like cactus with lobes and paddles. This appears to have more rounded branches. Any info trying to figure out what this is would be great.
Thanks.
