BREAKING! Cars Damaged By Fallen Tree At Wickham

 BY IAN CROUCH

Two cars and a building have been damaged after a large tree came down in Wickham early Tuesday morning.

Emergency services were called to Dickson Street near the intersection of Hannell Street just before 4.00am.

They found the massive tree blocking Dickson Street.

Newcastle Fire Command says two cars have been badly damaged and the tree is resting against a building on the corner of Dickson and Hannell Streets.

They've called for Council assistance and a chain saw operator to cut up the tree.

Dickson Street is likely to remain closed for some time while the tree is cut up and removed.
