Mini-tornado blows fence across busy road almost hitting driving instructor

A driving instructor and her student had a lucky escape when they were caught in a mini-tornado which blew an entire fence in front of their car.

Sharon Carter was in the passenger seat of her Ford Focus while she gave a driving lesson to a teenage girl.

Front dash cam footage captured the terrifying moment a 6ft wooden fence panel hurtled past the car during a heavy storm on Sunday morning.

Footage from the rear camera shows the fence crashing into the roof of a house in Duston, Northants.
