There is traffic chaos on the roads in Chester this afternoon as heavy winds have brought at least two trees to the ground.

A tree is believed to have fallen on to a car on Grove Road in Mollington, causing traffic to come to a standstill as emergency services deal with the incident.

Meanwhile the A41 Liverpool Road is currently blocked in both directions due to a fallen tree, which is slowing traffic down.

Police have advised motorists to avoid the area.

And bushes have also fallen onto the road on Sandy Lane in Saighton.

Elsewhere, police have closed Brown Heath Road/Rake Lane at the Plough crossroads in Waverton, which is diverting traffic through Christleton.

It comes after the Met Office issued a yellow weather warning for the Chester area between midday today (Monday, October 16) and midnight.
