Strong winds cause traffic chaos
FALLING trees this morning (Wednesday) blocked roads across Crow Country after strong winds ripped them from the ground.

A tree blocked the A505 near the Duxford junction which was dealt with by 7.59am.
Newmarket Road was barred by fallen timber near the junction of Icknield Way forcing the police to close the road by the A10 junction to A505, with lorries initially turning around in the road.
