A powerful winter storm swept across northwest Europe on Saturday, causing widespread travel chaos and resulting in at least one death.
Hampshire Police in southern England said a man died after a tree fell onto a car on a major road near Winchester while authorities in West Yorkshire said that they were investigating a potential link between a second death in a traffic accident and the storm.
However, the road involved was not icy at the time.
In Ireland, Storm Bert left over 60,000 properties without power, while also disrupting ferry and train routes across the Irish Sea.

Major transport hubs in Britain faced significant delays, with airports and Channel ports severely impacted.
