Storm Malik

A woman has been rescued after high winds caused a tree to fall on her car, trapping her inside.

It happened at about midday on Dunham Road, Altrincham, Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS) said.

Firefighters rescued the woman using cutting gear and specialist equipment.

A GMFRS spokesman said: "First aid was administered by a fire service trauma technician before the woman was transferred to the care of North West Ambulance Service."

Oddly enough, this same thing happened to me in 2006. I had finished a night shift and was on my way home in a violent storm when I very briefly caught sight of a massive tree bearing down on my car. Before I knew what had happened, it smashed into the passenger side of the vehicle. It was a write-off, of course, but Thank God I was on my own that morning.

Perhaps we should all watch the weather forecast in the winter,  don't take chances,   :)
