Fire crews in Gloucestershire have rescued two people after their car and caravan became stuck in floodwater near Winchcombe
The incident occurred just before 23:00 BST on Friday (April 25th) and required a Gloucestershire Fire & Rescue Service team to attend the scene off the B4632 in Didbrook, Cotswold Journal reports.
Crews were able to rescue the occupants from the vehicles but due to them suffering from hypothermia, firefighters requested an ambulance.
A spokesman for Gloucestershire Fire & Rescue Service said: “The ambulance quickly gave the occupants the all clear but due to the cold and them not being from the local area a request for the Fire Emergency Support Vehicle from Gloucester to attend was made.”
With a bank holiday approaching there is expected to be an increase of caravanners on the road. Those that are planning on a short break over the extended weekend are advised to be extra careful on their travels.
