THE torrential wind and rain has caused a large tree to fall and completely block a Worcester road.

The tree fell across the eastern end of Beech Avenue, in Perdiswell, at 3.30pm this afternoon.

Resident Neil Humphries said: "It's going from a garden on one side of the street, completely across the road, and into a garden on the other side. No-one can get in or out of Beech Aveune."

Workers from Worcester City Council are on their way to remove the tree.
