A female driver had a lucky escape this morning as a tree fell across a road in high winds near Thame this morning.

The female driver of a black Peugeot 206 was shocked but unharmed when her car hit the tree just after 8am. The tree had to be cut with a chainsaw to be removed from the road as it was blocking both lanes. The road was closed at the Oxford Road roundabout and road was finally cleared at around 1.30pm.
