Jamie Roberts stumbles across nightmare Storm Darragh scene as Porsche demolished
Wales rugby legend Jamie Roberts came across a nightmare scene on a Cardiff street as Storm Darragh brought down a tree directly onto a Porsche parked on the side of the road.
Roberts shared footage of the aftermath of the incident, which saw the giant tree fall directly onto the luxury car on Cathedral Road in Pontcanna on Friday night. A number of other cars were also damaged.
The Porsche, which does not belong to the respected pundit, bore the brunt of the damage, with the back windscreen shattered and the roof completely caved in by the force of the impact.

People have been advised to stay in doors amid a red weather warning. The Met Office has also issued an amber warning for rain on Saturday. The agency has predicted there could be as much as 80-90mm of rainfall. You can read more about that here.
In an update they said Parks and highways teams have responded to reports of fallen trees since around 2.30am, arriving on site at Gabalfa Avenue within 20 minutes of the first report to clear the highway.
Since then, crews have attended over 50 callouts in total to clear fallen trees and debris, and the team is prioritising its response based on risk to public safety.
Teams are also out checking gullies, culverts, streams and trash screens to clear any obstructions to help mitigate the risk of surface water flooding.
Winter Wonderland, Bute Park Light Trail and the Working Street Christmas attractions closures are also in place.
