Three occupants of a caravan had a lucky escape recently when their wind-and-rain-battered mobile holiday home was blown over a wall and into a river.
The incident on the A4086 at Afon Nant Peris occurred as harsh weather pounded north Wales, the Daily Post revealed.
It explained how one of the trio was unable to scramble to safety and had to rely on the efforts of the local fire service to rescue him.
The men were all taken to Ysbyty Gwynedd hospital, Bangor, to be medically examined but there were no injuries.
“The three men were staying in the caravan in a lay-by on the pass. It was blown over the wall by the wind and into the river below,” a spokesperson for North Wales Fire and Rescue explained.
She added that there had also been a landslide in the area, which was causing problems with the roads.
The Met Office warned on Friday (November 13th) that the UK should expect heavy rain and gale-force winds this week.
