Strong winds to cause accident claims?RSS Feed
The high winds currently battering Britain are likely to see an increase in the number of people with an accident claim due to car crashes occurring on the roads of the UK.
Winds of up to 97 mph were observed late on Wednesday evening, causing chaos on roads around the country.
There have been numerous reports of trees falling onto cars and lorries overturning - many of which could lead to accident claims - and drivers have been warned to be careful on the roads.
Gemma Plumb, a forecaster from the Press Association's Meteogroup, noted that "everywhere has seen strong winds".
"So far we've seen gusts across central and southern parts of Scotland of 85 to 97 mph. That's an hourly figure, so there's a chance there may have been stronger gusts of more than 100mph."
Warnings have been issued across several regions, with flooding and a severe drop in temperature forecast in some areas, with Scotland likely to weather the harshest conditions.
