VIDEO: Drivers trapped in Flash floods on Nottinghamshire road
Four crews from Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue were called to Kilton Hill in Worksop just before 6pm yesterday (October 7) after a heavy downpour marooned two cars in flood water.
Teams from Worksop and Tuxford attended the scene at first, but a specialist rescue team from the Newark station had to be called in to winch the cars from the water.
