Over 20 cars trapped in over half a month’s worth of rainfall

Over 20 cars were trapped in torrential downpour last night on the A27 in West Sussex after torrential downpour saw over half a month’s rainfall in over 48 hours. Motorists have since been warned to stay off the roads as cars have been stuck in flood water. News has since followed that the UK is set to suffer “miserable conditions” over the next two days. The A27 was closed in both directions between Emsworth and Chichester yesterday evening as West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service worked to free the waterlogged vehicles.The service posted on Twitter: “A27 CLOSED both ways from Fishbourne, Chichester to Havant Around 20 cars stuck in flood water.”We are extremely busy dealing with multiple flood-related incidents, including rescuing people from cars and flooding in buildings.” Torrential downpour trapped a dozen cars in West Sussex (Image: UKNIP)
