A PCSO was hit by a vehicle while managing traffic after a tree fell into a major road.

Three people were rushed to hospital after the large tree fell onto a car on Bingley Road, in Nab Wood on Monday afternoon.

Emergency services were called to the scene just before 4pm that day.

Bradford Council said it was reported to them that the tree was a "fallen limb of a privately-owned oak tree".

There were three people in the vehicle that was struck and a passer-by said there was a branch in its window.

A spokesperson for West Yorkshire Police said: "The occupants were checked over by paramedics at the scene and no major injuries reported."

A spokesperson for Yorkshire Ambulance Service said: "A number of ambulance resources were dispatched to the scene and the three occupants of the car were conveyed to Airedale Hospital to be checked over."

The tree blocked the road and caused "havoc" with traffic "at a standstill both ways", according to two motorists.

Police remained at the scene while the damaged vehicle was recovered, and the tree removed from the road.

But a PCSO on traffic management duty was hit by a vehicle just after 7.30pm.

A spokesperson for police said: "They were taken to hospital with a foot injury."

It's understood Bingley Road was closed in both directions after that incident. 

A spokesperson for Bradford Council said its contractors went to the scene and the tree was "removed and the site was left safe."
