Man rides flood water from burst water main on boogie board

A video captured the moment a man was pulled along by a car on a boogie board.

The clip was taken on Saturday on Dunnings Bridge Road in Bootle after the road flooded when a water main burst. The issue affected 32,00 people living in the L21, L30, L9, L23, L10 and L22 postcodes since the early hours of Saturday, who were left with no or little water.

Pubs and shops were forced to close on Sunday as thousands of drivers queued up to collect bottled water from stations in Crosby, Netherton and Litherland. But this group of friends said they were using the flood in a "good way".
