Two men, in their 20s, were in the vehicle. The passenger was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver has been taken to Southampton General Hospital with serious injuries. Hampshire Police said it is appealing for witnesses. “The next of kin for both men have been informed and are being supported by specialist officers,” a spokesperson for the force added. “Officers are investigating the exact circumstances of the incident. “Anyone who witnessed the incident or who has dash-cam footage should call 101, quoting the reference 44220068638.” West of England Metro mayor Dan Norris promised to plant three trees for every one that falls because of Storm Eunice. Norris said: “The West of England will need more trees if we are to reach our ambitious target of net-zero carbon by 2030. “While Storm Eunice has caused misery and disruption to daily life, if it can be used as a springboard to get more trees in our region, that would bring a silver lining to its dark storm clouds.” In Cornwall at least 27,000 properties are without power. In Monmouthshire highway crews have cleared more than 50 fallen trees which blocked roads, PA reports. Martyn Alvey, Cornwall Council’s cabinet member for the environment, said: “Storm Eunice has left in its wake a lot of damage and disruption - including power outages for many households across Cornwall. “While the power companies are doing everything they can to get households back on grid, and the council and our partners are working hard to clean up the debris and damage left by the storm, there will be residents who this evening don’t have power at home. “We are encouraging people in Cornwall to look out for their neighbours who are vulnerable and might be struggling this weekend.” John Curtin, executive director of operations with the Environment Agency, said: “We are not through it yet. We have still got to see Storm Eunice go to the far parts of the coast - Cumbria and Kent. “Then we will be turning our eyes to rivers, especially the River Severn. If you are anywhere near a river, please check your flood risk.” He added: “Every storm seems to be breaking records. I have been doing this for 30 years and the weather seems to be just getting worse and worse. I think this is showing climate change in action.” Police have provided more details on the man in his 50s who died in Netherton, Merseyside, after debris struck the windscreen of a vehicle he was travelling in. Merseyside police said: “Officers were contacted at just after 2.10pm to reports that debris had struck the windscreen of a vehicle at Switch Island/Dunningsbridge Road. “A male passenger in the vehicle was injured. Paramedics attended at the scene but the man, who is in his 50s, was sadly pronounced dead. “The male driver of the vehicle was not injured. “The passenger’s next of kin have been made aware and are being supported by specially trained officers and inquiries into the incident are ongoing.” Actor Valerie Leon has spoken of her “shocking” experience after narrowly avoiding a falling tree brought down by Storm Eunice’s winds. Leon, 78, is best known for her roles in six films of the Carry On series as well as James Bond films The Spy Who Loved Me and Never Say Never Again. The actress said an uprooted tree crushed a car only 20 feet from where she had been outside her home in the London borough of Hounslow. It was like a horror movie,” she told PA Media. “I was worried about the trees because they’re all waving around all over the place, (so) I decided to move my car. “It was after I got out and I saw a load of people up the street - there was a crowd... and that’s when I wandered up and saw this other tree - with huge, huge roots.” Man dies after debris hits windscreen of vehicle he was travelling in A man in his 50s has died in Netherton, Merseyside, after debris struck the windscreen of a vehicle he was travelling in, Merseyside Police said.
