A WOMAN managed to escape from her car after getting trapped in a ford.

Her vehicle was stuck in the ford on Earls Common Road, near Himbleton, Worcestershire, at noon today.

Eyewitness Martin Dluzanin said: “The ford is too high. It’s 80cm high, for a safe crossing I think the maximum is 25cm.

“The rain has caused it to rise. The driver probably thought they could make it.”

The 40-year-old delivery driver took a picture of the vehicle stuck in the water.

Hereford and Worcester Fire and Rescue Service said the driver of the trapped car managed to get to safety and did not require medical treatment.

Three crews were sent to the scene and firefighters are currently trying to pull the vehicle out of the water.
