Some drivers were left stranded after a tree fell and blocked a country lane.

The tree came down in School Lane, Bricket Wood, yesterday (November 8).

Fortunately no one was passing through at the time and no damage was caused to any vehicles.

Stephen Danzig, who was in the area and took a photo of the tree, said a woman had recently driven down and was coming back out when her journey was halted.

The incident would have been particularly frustrating because School Lane is a no-through road and only has one public route in and out.

Police were called and together with community-spirited locals, they managed to get the tree away from the road in around 30 minutes.
