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.
The Met Office has issued an amber weather warning across the city from 10pm on Saturday to 9am on Sunday.
An amber warning is the second highest alert the weather service can issue, meaning experts predict there will be an "increased likelihood of impacts from severe weather".
The Met Office website states: "Storm Bella will bring disruption to travel and utilities over parts of south and south east England, and south Wales.
"Longer journey times and cancellations are likely, as road, rail, air and ferry services may be affected.
"Some roads and bridges are likely to close, and there will probably be some damage to buildings, such as tiles blown from roofs.
"Injuries and danger to life is likely from large waves and beach material being thrown on to coastal roads, sea fronts and properties."
