A driver had a lucky escape after Storm Jorge caused a huge tree to fall onto the roof of his vehicle while driving down a busy road.

The picture, which was taken by Paul Barber, shows how a gigantic tree had smashed through the front windscreen of the van on the B1112 near Weeting.

The incident occurred just outside Brandon at around 7.30am on Saturday morning and caused the entire road near to the BP garage in Weeting village to be blocked for a short while.

According to reports online it is understood that the driver was uninjured in the incident, which was caused by blustery winds brought by Storm Jorge.
