In northern England on Tuesday, a delivery driver was rescued from the roof of his vehicle after it became trapped by surging water levels in Weardale, Co Durham.
We re so proud of our Water Rescue Team & crews from Bishop, Durham, Stanhope, & Middleton, who at 5pm last night responded to a vehicle in the water at Westgate. On arrival our crews took immediate action, in what was challenging conditions, to ensure the driver was rescued. pic.twitter.com/27ueGL06yl County Durham & Darlington Fire & Rescue Service (@CDDFRS)
