Road blocked by thatched roof

Police issued traffic warnings after a thatched roof collapsed and blocked a road in Hertfordshire.

The roof formed an archway at the entrance to the front garden of a house on Loudwater Lane in Rickmansworth.



Hertfordshire Police tweeted to advise motorists to avoid the area due to a "large obstruction" which was reported to them at about 3:55pm on Thursday.

Officers said the roof was due to be removed from the road, near to its junction with Chorleywood Road.
