A tree has fallen and left a street completely blocked.

The tree has come down in Victoria Street near St Albans City station.

A photo taken by police officers at the scene of the incident shows the tree has fallen across the whole road, and onto a wall, narrowly missing a building.

There have been no reports of any injuries.

The road is currently closed in both directions, and drivers should divert past the station while the tree remains down.

Police officers in St Albans posted from their Twitter account: "Please avoid top of Victoria Street, St Albans. Large tree has fallen down. #StAlbansPolice #windy
