Police officers form human chain to rescue woman from car in …

Footage showing a woman being rescued through the window of her car after it became submerged in a flooded ford has been released by police. Officers formed a human chain to save the woman who was caught in flash flooding in Worcester on Tuesday. They waded into the water and managed to drag her out through a window as the vehicle sank deeper.

Moments later it was completely submerged. The incident, between between Pershore and Drakes Broughton, near Worcester, was caught on police body cameras and has been shared by the local force to warn drivers of the dangers of flash flooding.

The woman was in immediate danger due to flooding in the ford, so officers acted quickly to rescue her and formed a human chain to drag her out of her sinking car. (SWNS) Emergency services arrived to find the woman's car already at least 30 feet downstream and submerged under water.

In the footage, the driver can be heard apologising to her rescuers, to which one responds: "Don't apologise lovely, don't apologise."

Another can be heard telling her "we'll get your stuff later, just watch your legs", moments before they haul her from the broken car window.

West Mercia Police said the woman was rescued from the vehicle within 20 minutes of the 999 call.
