A warning has been issued after a group of people were spotted trying to go for a swim in the River Trent. Nottingham City Transport bus driver Matthew Wood explained he was concerned to see the individuals preparing to get into the water near Wilford Toll Bridge on his way home from work on Monday, March 27.
The 48 year old stated that he and another man went over to the three men to inform them of how "dangerous" the river can be. He said: "Me and another man went over and explained the dangerous situation and there's been a few fatalities and one quite recently.
"At this point one got in and was waist high and was planning to swim to the other side but after we spoke he got out . They were students and never knew how dangerous it was."
