The car was badly damaged as Storm Arwen buffeted the north west late last week.

Posting an image of the car the PSNI at Strand Road stated: "This driver was lucky to walk away with only minor injuries after the wind blew down this tree onto his car as he was driving along the Letterkenny Road."

The road was closed for a time to allow the emergency services to clear the car, tree and debris.
