TWO people had to be rescued from floodwater on Sandford Lane in Woodley on Saturday afternoon.

The incident happened at 4.36pm.

A Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service crew from Wokingham Road Fire Station was sent to the scene.

It took around 27 minutes for the duo to be removed from the vehicle, before making the scene safe.

The road was flooded as water levels rose in the wake of Storm Henk.
