Residents were left shocked after a tree limb snapped and fell this afternoon.

No one was hurt, but branches of the willow, in Kent Avenue, Minster, landed on a blue Citroen Saxo, narrowly missing a blue Mercedes.

The incident happened outside the home of Shirley and Colin Rendall.

Mrs Rendall said: "I heard it because it came this way and then it went back. Then there was a great big bang.

"There was only a breeze, if the wind gets up any stronger, I think the rest of it will come down."

"If it goes that way [towards the houses] it could kill someone."

Mr Rendall added: "An elderly lady comes by everyday with her shopping trolley, and she is not the quickest of movers.

"If she had been there, it would have killed her."
