Drivers have been rescued from flooding in Littlehampton.

A spokesman for the fire service said it was called to Ferry Road, Littlehampton, at 12.49pm today to reports of a person trapped in their car after getting stuck in the floodwater, which had spilled over into nearby farmland.

Two fire engines from Littlehampton attended, along with the technical rescue unit, and a car and a van, with three occupants between them, were pushed to safety from the floodwater.
