It's raining apples in Coventry...

The inclement conditions at this time of year normally cause a variety of traffic and logistical problems as motorists battle their way through wind, rain and snow.

But one freak of nature drivers do not normally have to contend with is flying fruit, as mystified residents did in Coventry on Monday night.

Bemused motorists were forced to take evasive action when an avalanche of apples descended from the sky just after the rush-hour.

(...)

'I know the area well and there are no apple trees around.' Yesterday, a 20-yard stretch of the road was strewn with crushed apples made mushy by the rain.

Many had smashed as though they had fallen from a great height.

Baffled resident Dave Meakins opened the front door yesterday morning to find a number of smashed apples in his front garden. Full story...

Don't miss:
  1. Thousands of dead birds wash ashore at Wasaga Beach in Ontario...
  2. Dead birds that fell from the sky in Arkansas...
  3. It's raining fish in Australia!!!
  4. Why are dead birds falling from the sky in Western Australia?
  5. Dead starlings fall from the sky in Somerset...
  6. More than 1,000 dead birds fall from sky in US... 
  7. Millions of dead fish in the Philippines...
