Officials were alerted to the incident just after 3am and a crew was sent from Leamington. However, the crew experienced difficulties in getting to the incident due to the roads being severely flooded, Warwickshire Fire and Rescue said. The crews requested a boat but the nearest was located nearly 40 miles away in Evesham, Worcestershire, and there was a delay in gaining access to the boat due to the floods. Crews kept in touch with the stranded occupants of the car on their mobile phone until the boat rescued them just after 6am. In another incident, crews were called to three people being trapped in a car under a bridge in Coventry Road, Church Lawford, just before 2.30am. They were rescued by firefighters and treated for hypothermia. Crews were also called to a man marooned in his car in floodwater in Oak Tree Lane in Sambourne just before 3am. He was rescued 30 minutes later and also treated for hypothermia. West Mercia Police warned members of the public not to drive through standing water after rescuing 20 people from their vehicles overnight.
