An ASDA delivery van was washed away after getting trapped in a swollen river.

Video showed the motor semi-submerged in a precarious spot – but luckily, no one was inside.

The van got stuck in the River Rea near Cleobury Mortimer, near Kidderminster, Shropshire on Sat 7 Feb.

It followed weeks of heavy rain that has swept over Britain.

A spokesperson for Cleobury Mortimer Fire Station said the van had been swept downriver from a ford at Neen Savage and become stuck at Walfords Bridge.

Information was passed on to West Mercia Police and the Environment Agency, as reported by Need To Know.

Heavy rain sparked flooding fears with almost 80 warnings, mostly scattered across the south and south-west England and the East and West Midlands, being issued by the Environment Agency.

Locals were relieved that the van driver was unharmed.

One said: “Literally this was my shopping going down the river thankfully the driver was ok.”
