Car crushed after cut-down tree falls wrong way and crashes into Wicklow garden

A person's car was accidentally crushed after a cut-down tree fell the wrong way and crashed into a Wicklow garden.

The accident happened outside a home in Greystones on Tuesday afternoon.

Video footage seen by Dublin Live showed a tree care service cutting down a tall tree which then crashed into the garden.

Another video, this time showing footage from the homeowner's security camera showed the tree slowly falling into the garden, with some of its branches visibly damaging the Land Rover parked in front.

A spokesman for the company, Djouce Tree Care Services, told Dublin Live that the owner of the house was very understanding and "no one was hurt, so that's the main thing".

He also added that compensation for the damages will be paid through their insurance.
