Sea defences are breached and cars are carried away on Dorset beach after it was besieged by storm overnight as forecasters issue ice AND flood warnings with up to 8inches of snow expected on Tuesday

A Dorset beach was last night battered by a brutal storm that breached sea defences and even carried cars away amid strong wings, heavy rainfall and terrifying 23ft waves.  Sea and rain water poured into streets surrounding Chesil Beach on the Isle of Portland, with at least one person believed to have been left needing urgent medical attention.  The Environment Agency had issued a flood warning for the area, forecasting sea spray overtopping along the coast as a result of high tides and strong winds and urging people to be careful along beaches, promenades and coastal footpaths and roads due to the danger of big waves.  Property owners were also urged to install flood resilience equipment after one road, set just back from the famous shingle beach, had to be closed completely.  The emergency Services, including the Coastguard and paramedics, attended the scene at around 9.30pm. The scene was captured on camera by local woman Sharon Nicol Cooper. The 47-year-old said: 'I have lived

A heartbroken son has been prevented from visiting his dying dementia-hit mother in a Welsh care home because she has weeks left to live rather than days, he claims.  Ryan Mee said he was told he can only see his mother Gillian Mee, 68, in her 'last days' rather than in her final weeks under guidance by Public Health Wales.  Mr Mee said his sister received a call two weeks ago explaining their mother had lost a significant amount of weight and to 'prepare' themselves for the worst.  But despite visiting her care home on a few occasions after the news, he said they were told on Monday that the arrangement could not continue after doctors gave the grandmother-of-four 'weeks' to live.  Ryan Mee has been prevented from visiting his dying dementia-hit mother Gillian Mee, 68, in a Welsh care home because she has weeks left to live rather than days, he claims In England, government guidelines state that care home visits can be enabled in the final weeks and months of a

A Deliveroo moped driver died after smashing into a stationary lorry in Basingstoke last year as he was 'distracted by his phone', an inquest heard.

The married father of one, from Brazil, drove his 2016 Honda straight into the lorry without braking, on Tuesday, May 19 2020.
