A fallen tree had closed the A358 at Combe Florey

A tree came down on the A358 at Combe Florey, causing police to close the road.

It came after the weather warning was in place for rain across the region.

The road is the main route between West Somerset and Taunton, with traffic monitoring firm Inrix earlier showing heavy traffic either side of the closure between Combe Florey and Eastcombe.

The road has now reopened, and signage removed.
