A large oak tree fell into the rear of a home in Bewbush near Crawley in Saturday’s strong winds.  

The tree fell through the roof and into the first floor of the house at 7.30 am.  A neighbouring property sustained roof damage.  Crawley firefighters attended the scene together with the aerial ladder platform from Horsham and the fire service’s Technical Rescue Unit. Tree surgeons and structural engineers also attended.

An occupant of the house was treated at the scene by the ambulance service for a non-serious head injury.
