A man tragically lost his life when a tree fell on a caravan during Storm Goretti’s onslaught in Cornwall. The incident took place in the Mawgan area of Helston on Thursday evening, as reported by the local authorities. The storm unleashed winds reaching up to 99mph in the region.
Officials confirmed that the man, who was in his 50s, perished in the incident, which is not deemed suspicious. His family has been notified of the tragic event. The Met Office issued a rare red wind warning for parts of the South West on Thursday, while amber and yellow alerts for snow, ice, wind, and rain covered various regions across the UK.
Emergency responders were summoned to the scene in Helston following the tree collapse onto the caravan. Efforts to clear the area and investigate further were carried out the following day.
