A HUGE tree has fallen and blocked a country road in Littleton as strong winds hit the county.

Kennel Lane was cut off at lunchtime.

No one was hurt but the tree is still being cleared.

Resident Matthew Storey said: “Although it's not a busy road, if any car had been hit by the tree I'm sure there would be serious injuries.”

Traffic disruption is minimal as Kennel Lane is near the village’s main road.

Heavy wind and rain has hit the south today, with the Met Office issuing yellow weather warnings and forecasting 20-30mm of rain.
