This is the scene in Trowell where strong wings brought down a tree, crushing a car below.
Thankfully the man inside managed to escape uninjured.
It happened on the A609 Nottingham Road in the early hours of this morning.
The road is expected to remain closed in both directions for some time because of the size of the tree.
