Firefighters attended a vehicle stranded in floodwater on Manor Road in Wallington at 1.15am today (September 23). The vehicle was stranded in around one metre's worth of floodwater.
A foot of moving water at just 6mph is enough to float a car. Always try and find an alternative route and make sure to check your journey before travelling.
London Fire Brigade has issued a warning to take extra care if out today following a night of heavy rain across London. The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for rain which is in place until 11.59pm today.
One person was assisted from the vehicle by firefighters and a crew from Wallington Fire Station put a cordon in place. If you're out on the roads today, please do not drive through floodwater.
