Jersey Met have issued a red weather alert, warning that Force 10 winds could hit Jersey tonight. Drivers are being advisers to "reduce their speed" and be cautious.

There is a build up of debris around the island following the record-breaking winds at the weekend.

With the recent inclement weather and more forecast for this evening and into tomorrow, we would like to remind road users to be aware of the conditions.

There is a lot of debris which has fallen over the last couple of days and leaves on the road, leading to a slippery surface when combined with the rain.

We would advise people to reduce their speed and drive to the conditions

The warning comes after a vehicle ended up on its side after a crash on La Grande Route De Saint-Martin this morning.
