Pair rescued from car trapped in West Mersea flood water
Fire crews were called out in the early hours of Friday
Two people have had to be rescued from their car, after it got stuck in flood water in West Mersea.
Fire crews were called to The Strood in the early hours and left the pair with paramedics.
Watch Manager Dave Farrant, West Mersea Fire Station, said:
"This incident shows how easy it can be to get into trouble in and around water. - never drive into floodwater or a rising tide, it's just not worth taking the chance.
"It's Water Awareness week this week and it's so important we keep spreading the message that people need to give water the respect it deserves."
