A driver had a lucky escape when a tree fell on their car during a storm.

Storm Amy brought strong winds to large parts of the country on Saturday (4th) with many trees being felled as a result.

One large willow tree landed on Green Dragon Lane, between Southgate and Winchmore Hill, on top of a car.

Fortunately, they were said to be “badly shaken but unscathed”.

A London Ambulance Service spokesperson said: “We were called at 2.04pm on Saturday 4th October to reports of an incident at the junction of Worlds End Lane and Green Dragon Lane, Southgate.

“We sent ambulance crews and a paramedic in a fast response car to the scene.

“We assessed a person and discharged them at the scene.”
