The tree came down in Kings Road, Kingstanding, at about 10:00 GMT. Three people were in the two-storey terraced property at the time but a West Midlands Fire Service spokesman said no-one was seriously injured. He said the trio received precautionary checks from paramedics. A structural engineer was called to assess the stability of building. The spokesman said he assumed the weather had caused the tree to fall but was not certain. One onlooker said a paperboy who had been due to deliver a newspaper at the address arrived just a few minutes after the tree collapsed. |
