Flooding: Van gets stuck and tree comes down in Kenilworth ford

Kenilworth and Warwick Rural Police shared a photo of the van on its Facebook page and have used it to also warn other motorists to use alternative routes in and out of the town.

The post said: “Again someone thought they can drive through 3ft of water? Please take alternative route in and out of Kenilworth.”

Then around an hour later a large tree has come down into the ford but luckily no one was there at the time.

A flood warning remains in place for Finham Brook in Kenilworth, which includes Forge Road, Northvale Close and Common Lane.
