A tree has come down on Adelaide Terrace, blocking the CBD road east-bound as a severe weather warning remains in place for a second day in Perth and southern parts of the state.
The tree has toppled on Adelaide Terrace between Hill and Bennett streets, causing traffic chaos.
Radio 6PR reporter Anthony Anderson said no one had been injured in the incident, which occurred around 9am.
"An entire tree has come down mid-trunk... it's fallen on a parking ticket machine," he said.
"It's very lucky it didn't hit a car or person."
