Hurricane Katia hits UK

A DRIVER died yesterday as Hurricane Katia’s 82mph winds blasted Britain, leaving behind a trail of destruction.

His car was hit by a tree on the A688 at Dunhouse Quarry in Co Durham.

Another motorist was crushed to death in a horror smash between two lorries and two vans on the M54 near Shropshire. Another had a lucky escape when a huge wave crashed on to a road in Cumbria. Strong gusts blew the roof of a row of industrial units in Langley Moor, Co Durham, on to a row of cars.


Winds forced a Ryanair jet to abort its landing at Leeds Bradford Airport.

Thousands of homes had no power last night, with travel widely disrupted by Katia, which is now a tropical storm.
