POLICE are trying to piece together what happened after two people were seriously injured in North Somerset during Storm Isha at the weekend.

Officer are appealing for witnesses and dashcam footage following the incident on the B3134 Broad Road, near Blagdon at around 7.30pm on Sunday (January 21).

An Avon and Somerset Police spokesperson said: "Two people were seriously injured after a car either collided with a fallen tree or was struck by it as it fell.

"A woman in her 50s and a man in his 60s sustained serious head injuries and are currently receiving treatment at Southmead Hospital.

"The woman’s condition is described as life threatening while the man’s injury is said to be potentially life changing."

They added: "We’re interested in speaking to anyone who witnessed the incident or who has dashcam footage of it, who hasn’t yet spoken to police.
