Fallen tree on Blackshaw Road in Bolton during Storm Boelo

The tree came down on Blackshaw Road, just off Deane Road and Wigan Road, today (October 25).

A local resident said the tree fell sometime between 9am and noon.

Photos taken at the scene show the tree lying across the road, with branches and debris covering the highway.

Part of the fallen tree can also be seen next to a parked car, although it is currently unknown if the vehicle was damaged.

Where the tree fell, a boundary wall collapsed under its weight.

The incident comes as Storm Boelo continues to bring strong winds to Greater Manchester.

A yellow Met Office wind warning remains in force across Greater Manchester until 9pm today.

Bolton has already experienced disruption from the storm, with substantial flooding reported on Darwen Road between Smith Lane and the War Memorial at 7.30pm on Saturday.

Footage shows vehicles traveling through floodwaters after heavy rain.

Rail travel is also affected, including services using the Manchester-Bolton-Wigan-Southport route, with passengers warned of cancellations and delays due to the severe weather.

The latest fallen tree adds to damage reported across Greater Manchester, including another large tree which fell on a car on Woodhey Road in Holcombe Brook, Bury.
