Teenager dies after car hit by falling tree
A teenager whose car was struck by a falling tree during Storm Éowyn has died of his injuries. The 19-year-old was driving a blue Ford Focus on the B743 in Mauchline, East Ayrshire, at about 06:45 on Friday when the accident happened. He was taken to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow for treatment but died on Saturday. An amber weather warning was in place in that area at the time. The crash happened just over three hours before a red weather warning came into force. Sgt Chris McColm of Police Scotland's road policing unit said: "Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the man who died." He is the second person to die following Friday's storm. In the Republic of Ireland, 20-year-old Kacper Dudek died after a tree fell on his car in County Donegal. Two days after Storm Éowyn hit, more than 20,000 homes and businesses in Scotland remain without power. More than 14,000 SP Energy Networks customers in central and southern Scotland are still off-grid. Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) said they have 7,500 customers without power. Rail and ferry links remain badly affected across the country, with warnings significant disruption will continue throughout Sunday. Train operator Scotrail said engineers are working to restore the network after 400 individual incidents were logged on Friday and Saturday. CalMac has begun running some ferries on its island routes, though these remain prone to delay and cancellation due to continued adverse weather, storm damage and power outages. A yellow wind warning remains in place from 08:00 to 17:00 in Scotland on Sunday, covering Strathclyde, south-west Scotland, Lothian and the Borders. Speaking on BBC Scotland's The Sunday Show, Scottish government minister Angela Constance said the country was well into the "recovery effort" and stressed the rare ferocity of the storm made it a "multi-day impact" event which would stretch into the coming week. "The phase that we are in right now in many ways is the hardest phase for our utility companies," she said. "When they are doing repairs quite often they find other repairs. We are getting to more rural locations and there's a real focus of energy and commitment there and I know that the energy companies in particular are moving teams through to the west coast as things just become a little bit operationally harder today," she added. A yellow weather warning for wind is also in place across Northern Ireland, where about 75,000 customers are still without power. The warning lasts from 10:00 to 19:00, with many areas experiencing gusts up to 40-60 mph. It comes after a yellow warning for snow and ice, which ran from 18:00 on Saturday to 10:00 on Sunday. The Police Service for Northern Ireland (PSNI) have warned people to take care when driving as many roads are still impassable following Storm Éowyn, with fallen trees, power lines and debris.

Teenager dies after his car was struck by falling tree during Storm Eowyn
A 19-year-old man has died after his car was struck by a falling tree in East Ayrshire during Storm Eowyn. The incident happened on the B743 in Mauchline at about 6.45am on Friday, when the area was covered by an amber weather warning for high winds. The teenager, who had been driving a blue Ford Focus, was taken to Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow for treatment. Police confirmed that he died on Saturday, January 25. Sergeant Chris McColm of the Road Policing Unit said: 'Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the man who died.' On Friday the Met Office issued a rare red weather warning for much of southern Scotland, warning of a danger to life from flying debris. Wind speeds of up to 100mph caused widespread damage and travel disruption, and left thousands of homes without power.
