An Armagh man has had a lucky escape after a tree fell on top his car while driving earlier this morning (Wednesday).
Malachy Malone was travelling along the Mullinure Road in the city shortly before 10am when the large tree fell onto the roof of his car.
The damage to his vehicle was significant, with the back window completely smashed and roof badly dented, but fortunately Mr Malone, who was understandably shocked by the incident, was able to walk away injury free.
A number of passing motorists were able to help remove him and the tree from the car.
