The emergency services were alerted at 10am on Sunday. The figure probably has blown over due to the strong wind that has drawn over Umeå.

- We suspect it is so. It is a large pine that blocks the bike lane and a lane, says Frida Klarin, internal commander of the rescue service.

- We arrived with two cars and will get away with it. The road is closed during work, says Clarin.

SMHI has issued a warning of wind gusts for Northern Quark and the Gulf of Bothnia.
