A ROAD has been closed by police after a tree came down on a house in Droitwich.

Police were called to the incident in Crutch Lane at around 12.30pm.

The tree crashed onto the property, causing damage to the roof and windows, and blocked the road.

Police closed it this afternoon so the tree can be removed.

A Worcestershire County Council spokesman said: "We are aware of this matter and will work to ensure that any damage to the road surface is minimised, and the road can be re-opened as soon as possible."
