    BBC News Online

    Emergency responders had to rescue a driver after "irresponsible" road users flooded their car.

    The vehicle was stranded on Desford Lane, outside Kirby Muxloe in Leicestershire, because other cars overtook and created a wave which flooded it, according to Ben Nandrame, a local flood responder.

    He took the opportunity to tell drivers the road is now down to single file.
