This is just an amazing clip – and an extraordinarily close call – of a tree being blown over at a junction in west London, shared by @JonBall on Twitter.

Here’s the tree at the junction of South Ealing Road and Little Ealing Lane getting blown over this afternoon. Amazing car cam footage by Joanna Wolman.

That woman in Blue is like "A tree fell down, but I've got places to go and people to see, move on…"

Is that now classed as a trunk road?
