Tree that crushed Porsche on Harrogate street is felled
A large tree that damaged a Porsche in Harrogate during recent storms has been felled.
Zenya Dunn, who lives on Granby Road, told the Stray Ferret her partner Michael woke to find his car beneath a large splintered branch during February's Storm Otto.
Speaking back then, she said it was the second time the Porsche had been struck by falling branches from the tree.
Ms Dunn added her Range Rover, parked nearby, and the house front window had narrowly escaped being damaged by the tree during storms. She said the couple had alerted the council to the danger numerous times.

North Yorkshire Council has now pruned the tree to little more than a stump.
