CREWS from three local fire stations were called out to retrieve a car from a flooded ford in Sindlesham last night.
Pumps from Wokingham Road, Whitley Wood and Caversham Road’s Water Rescue Unit were called to the vehicle stranded in Ellis’s Hill, off Mole Road, at around 12.35am.
The driver of the vehicle had managed to get themselves out to safety before the crews arrived. The vehicle was retrieved from the water and the crews left the scene at around 1.10am.
Mole Road is currently closed for resurfacing works so the driver may have taken a diversion down the single track road.
A diversion via Bearwood Road, Barkham Road, Langley Common Road and Arborfield Road is currently in place while the works are carried out. The closure is expected to be in place until July 29.
