Warning to drivers as south Warwickshire roads flood
Police community support officer Ed King, of the Warwick Rural East safer neighbourhood team, took this picture of a car which had been abandoned in a road in Offchurch on Friday December 21.
And on the next day, an ambulance was called to rescue a driver whose car had become stuck in a flooded road in Walton, near Wellesbourne. The driver had managed to get out of the car and was not injured.

“Know your vehicles capabilities - don’t attempt to drive through deep water and risk getting stuck.“
