France’s interior ministry said nine people have been injured in a violent wind storm pummeling the country.
Four people are said to be in serious condition following accidents caused by the winds that reached speeds above 100 mph (160 kph), on Wednesday.
In the Paris region, a falling tree hit a car and seriously injured one person, while another resident was seriously hurt falling from a building.
In the Eure-et-Loir, a motorcyclist hit a tree that had been uprooted and fell into the road, while in the east, a woman was seriously injured after an object hit her in the head.
First responders have made 3,250 interventions related to some of the worst winds to hit France, in years.
