A family have been rescued from a car after it got stuck in flood water.

Rescue services were called to Adeney Road, Newport, in Shropshire, at about 10:35 GMT.

A mother and three children were rescued from the car after about 30 minutes.

The vehicle was stuck in about 20ins (50cm) of water, Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service said.

The organisation urged people to avoid flood water and to only get in touch if they were in danger.

It added that drivers should request a recovery company if their vehicle was stuck in water, after a different car was left stranded in the water on Adney Road.
