Hurricane-force winds swept across northern Europe on Saturday, leaving at least four dead in Denmark and three in Sweden, police said. Key bridges and airports were closed, while all rail and ferry traffic was suspended.
One motorist was killed when a tree crashed onto his car in Odense, 100 miles west of the capital, Copenhagen, police said. Debris and falling trees killed three others. In Sweden, three people were killed, including two whose cars were struck by falling tree branches, police said. Meteorologists described Saturday's storm as one of the worst to hit Scandinavia in years.
