STORM Isha brought death and destruction to Scotland with winds of up to 107mph battering the country – but more extreme weather is on the way.
A new “danger to life” warning is in place as Storm Jocelyn is set to strike today and is expected to cause widespread disruption.
The whole country was left reeling as storm Isha wreaked havoc yesterday morning. It caused widespread chaos including:
● An elderly man killed after a car hit a fallen tree in Grangemouth. ● Tens of thousands of homes left without power.
● All trains and many ferry services cancelled.
● Extensive flooding and road closures.
● Dozens of schools shut.
● Roofs ripped off houses by the fierce gusts.
An 84-year-old man who was a passenger in a Hyundai car died after the vehicle collided with a tree on Beancross Road in Grangemouth at around 11.45pm on Sunday.
The man was pronounced dead at the scene, while the other occupants of the car were uninjured.
Road Policing Inspector Andrew Thomson said: “Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the man who died, and all those involved in the collision. We continue to offer them support as our inquiries progress.”
H a z a r d o u s d r i v i n g conditions made the Monday morning drive to work dangerous and there were a number of reports of trees falling on cars.
