Two people are reported to have died in separate incidents as Storm Arwen battered the United Kingdom overnight.

Gusts of up to 98mph have been recorded and Police forces across the United Kingdom have warned motorists to only travel if they really have to.

One man died after a tree fell on his vehicle in Northern Ireland and another was killed after a tree hit his vehicle in Cumbria.

Herefordshire has missed the worst of the weather but has still seen a number of roads closed due to fallen trees and debris.

Rail services in and out of Hereford Railway Station were temporarily cancelled due to fallen trees, but the majority of services have now been restored as the weather situation starts to improve.

Snowfall has also been reported in many parts of the UK, with areas north of Birmingham seeing some significant falls. A number of lorries are reported to be stuck on the M62 due to heavy snowfall.
