Flood Tragedy in Shrewsbury.

<< < (2/3) > >>

thermidorthelobster:
How many of us here would have a go at a foot deep flooded UCR?  I know I probably would have, although on the basis of this I'd now think twice.

Guy90:
You're right. Most of us would have had a go! Having been nearly swept away down the River Dee I've always been mega careful about flowing water and you never know what is in a flash flood.

Wanderer:
They did say it would have been deeper during the night.
Anyone know what vehicle was involved?
The fact it was dark would have had some sort of a bearing on it.

Freelander... which of course has less under-vehicle clearance than a Disco or Defender for example, which would have contributed....

Wanderer:
Just a thought. I wonder if the lights were hot and the cold water took the lights out? It'd be bad news losing the lights in a ford at night.

I understand the girl involved worked locally and was returning home from work so maybe the lights didn't contribute. On the video I saw it looked like there were a number of rocks or at least something causing the water to break.
