Yorkshire flooding: Driver shares video footage of rising rivers and flooded roads during heavy rainfall in the Dales

Coach driver Thomas Beresford shared video footage of several impassable roads in the Upper Dales during heavy rainfall on Tuesday.

He rescued a stuck driver on the A684 at Appersett, which was completely under water by 5pm, and confirmed the B6479 through Horton in Ribblesdale – starting point for the Three Peaks Challenge walk – was also hazardous.

Other video clips were taken on the Dent Head to Cowgill Dent route, where a road had become impassable due to a raging torrent of water.

Mr Beresford said: “The last time it rained this much, there was a landslip south of Dent Station (on the Settle to Carlisle line).”
