A van has become stuck while attempting to cross a flood-hit road. 

The A1101 at Welney has been almost impassable since Monday as a result of a nearby river bursting its banks. 

The driver of the van had to be rescued by the RAC, Welney Flood Watch said. 

According to the group the river levels are currently 2.75m with parts of the road covered in 20 inches of water. 

On social media the group said: "The good news is Sutton Gault upstream has shown a slight fall since yesterday, although the bad news is it has rained for most of the night.

"As we stated yesterday the current depth is claiming a few cars and vans, mostly strangers to the area that do ignore or misunderstand the signage."

Drivers are being encouraged to find alternative routes after the van had to be rescued on Wednesday. 

The group is warning that if two vehicles meet on the road a bow wave could easily swamp oncoming vehicles.
