Branch sheltering snow from Michael Owen's car falls on it
- Published
The ex-striker has moved into racehorse breeding since retiring from football and took part in a charity race last month
Former footballer Michael Owen thought he was making a smart move parking his car under a tree to shelter it from snowfall overnight.
But when he came out at 05.30 GMT to drive to the train station for an early start, he had an unpleasant surprise.
The weight of the snow had snapped the covering branch and sent it crashing down on to his Bentley GT Continental, outside his Northop, Flintshire, home.
He tweeted: "Not ideal at 5.30am when you've got a train to catch!"
