A LUXURY Rolls-Royce has been flattened by a huge tree that was uprooted by winds caused by Storm Bella.

The high-end car was parked on Tongdean Road, Hove, when the tree fell on its roof, smashing its windshield.

The picture captured this morning show the roof of the luxury motor caved in by the force of the falling timber.

A new Rolls-Royce Phantom can go from £363,600 today.

It's a result of the 60mph winds caused by Storm Bella last night, that saw roads flooded across Sussex.
