According to the BBC, the two deceased people, one in Antrim, Northern Ireland, and the other in Cumbria, northwest England, were victims of falling trees caused by winds of up to 157 kilometers per hour that accompanied the meteorological phenomenon.
Images transmitted by the television showed a truck overturned by strong gusts on a motorway in the English county of Durham, and dozens of vehicles trapped in the snow that fell in the last hours in Scotland.
Arwen also caused power outages in the north of the UK, where more than 80,000 people were still without power on Saturday, the BBC added.
There are also no passenger trains, as the companies that operate them decided to cancel departures in anticipation of accidents.
The Meteorology Office warned that this Saturday would be a cold and windy day, with temperatures ranging between three and five degrees throughout the country, but with a thermal sensation still due to the strong gusts that accompany the storm.
