A Mercedes driver was forced to abandon their car on a flooded Derbyshire road – with others being urged to avoid the route.

At around 12.40pm today, Derbyshire Dales Police reported that the Tissington Ford on Bent Lane, just off the B5056 near Bradbourne, was closed due to flooding.

Motorists were warned not to attempt to cross the ford, with a black Mercedes becoming struck after trying to traverse the water.
