_terrifying-dashcam-footage-shows-falling-tree-narrowly-miss-passing-traffic.webp "Terrifying dashcam footage shows the moment a huge tree fell just feet from passing motorists - after high winds caused carnage across Britain.<br/><br/>The shocking video revealed how drivers had to slam on their brakes as the roughly 45ft (14m) tall oak came crashing down during a storm yesterday (Mon 15).<br/><br/>Filmmaker Matt Jones was heading along Princess Road, in Manchester, when he captured the massive tree topple over and smash into the road just after noon.<br/><br/>Writing in a post on social media, the shocked director later said: “That was a close one”.<br/><br/>The footage showed how the tree collided with a van in the outside lane of the carriageway, while another car narrowly avoided a collision.<br/><br/>But thankfully Matt managed to hit his brakes in time to prevent any serious damage to him or his vehicle. <br/><br/>Met Office data shows how Manchester experienced gusts of up to 45mph yesterday before residents later witnessed thunder, lightning, heavy rain and then hail.<br/><br/>The wintry conditions had caused the service to issue a yellow weather warning for the whole country.<br/><br/>And there were even reports of a tornado hitting Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire, with pictures showing damaged rooves and overturned campervans.<br/><br/>However, after enduring the longest period of wet weather in British history, the Met Office has now said there is some good news on the horizon for the country. <br/><br/>The service said by the weekend, some parts will see an uptick in temperatures as high pressure moves in from across the Atlantic.<br/><br/>Deputy Chief Meteorologist Mark Sidaway said: “Don’t expect a heatwave. <br/><br/>\")
