THIS is the dramatic moment that a large tree fell on to Broadway in Chadderton and caused misery for drivers.
Gusts of up to 80mph and torrential rain battered the borough yesterday, uprooting a large tree in Chadderton close to the Middleton Road junction. Tree surgeons removed the tree, clearing the road shortly before 4pm.
