Londonderry: Woman talks of shock after tree falls on car

The tree came down in the early hours of Friday, residents say

A Londonderry woman has spoken of waking up to find a large tree had fallen on her car in a residential area of the city.

Several vehicles were damaged in the incident which happened in Crawford Square in the early hours of Friday.

There were no injuries. A team of tree surgeons was called to clear the scene.

Cheryl Campbell said she looked out the window of her home "and there was my car underneath a tree".

Cheryl Campbell said a neighbour had previously voiced concerns

"No-one is going to pay for it [the damage] because it is an act of God. We don't know what to do," she told BBC Radio Foyle.

She said a neighbour had previously voiced concerns that "something bad was going to happen".

"Someone could have been walking by there and got hit by that tree and not just the car damaged," she said.
