A Porsche 911 sports car has been hit by tree in a storm for the second time in just a few years. Zenya Dunne said that this time the vehicle is a write-off after a three-tonne branch came crashing down as Storm Otto swept through Harrogate, in North Yorkshire, early on Friday morning.
She said it is her partner’s car and the “pride of his life”. Ms Dunne said it was fortunate the tree came down onto the parked car during the night when few people were around and, on Friday morning, residents took to social media to warn people to stay away due to the danger posed by the precarious branches.
She told the PA news agency: “The tree is quite a size and it’s smashed down onto the roof. This time, the car is completely and utterly crushed.
