A motorist has recalled hearing 'children screaming' as a van became inundated by water on a tidal road.
Andrew Takle was driving his Land Rover on the Aveton Gifford tidal road on Tuesday (August 16) at high tide when he decided to turn back following a warning from a kayaker, reports SomersetLive.
Being told the road was under five feet of water further down, he tried to head back up the road only to be blocked — and shortly afterwards witnessed a blue Ford van driving into one of the road's deepest parts.
