Man killed by tree branch, pedestrian blown into road as storm buffets Wellington, New Zealand

WELLINGTON: A man was struck and killed by a tree branch in a city park Tuesday as stormy weather buffeted New Zealand’s capital. The dangerous winds and heavy rain disrupted travel, closed schools and cut electricity in parts of the country. Wind canceled flights into and out of Wellington for several hours before they resumed to bumpy take-offs and landings. The storm also halted passenger ferry sailings. The man who died had been injured on Mount Victoria, a popular trail walking spot in the central city.
