It was also revealed a horror car pile-up on the M4 on Friday was weather-related, according to MailOnline.

The smash, which involved a lorry and four cars, killed two women who were travelling together.

Devastatingly in the hours that followed a teenage driver was killed in a crash amid the wet conditions.

An 18-year-old was also left fighting for his life on Friday night after the car he was travelling in smashed into a wall in a West Yorkshire village.

The Sun understands the horrendous weather conditions were a factor in the horror smash.

The collision involved a white Seat Ibiza which ploughed with a wall on Brow Lane at Shelf, near Halifax.

Cops on Friday confirmed two people had fallen victim to Storm Babet.

West Mercia Police said a man in his 60s had died in the storm.

He was found two hours after getting caught in fast-flowing flood water and being dragged under in Cleobury Mortimer, Shropshire.

Onlookers frantically called cops at around 10.40am on Friday before the tragic discovery was made.

He was the third person to die after John Gillan, 56, was travelling in his vehicle when a tree struck it in Angus, Scotland.

A 57-year-old woman also died on Thursday after being swept into a river in the region.

On Saturday, an elderly man and woman died when their car plunged off a 30ft bridge.
