FOUR people were rescued by firefighters after their car became trapped in a ford near Alcester.

The occupants were unable to get out of the vehicle as the flood water was halfway up the vehicle doors.

A fire crew from Alcester attended the scene in Coughton Fields Lane, Kinwarton, at about 9.10pm on December 30.

Firefighters entered the water, and in less the 10 minutes were able to secure the car and get all occupants to safety.
