Storm Ciara's powerful winds have caused a tree to uproot and fall onto a car in Wigan this afternoon.

The video, captured by Paul Doyle, shows the tree atop of a white Ford 4x4 in Almond Brook Road, Standish, this afternoon (Sunday February 9). It appears to have fallen from inside the grounds of St Marie's church.

Multiple trees have been uprooted across the borough, including a large tree which fell in Swinley Road this morning. The road was cleared swiftly by Wigan Council.
