A man who became stuck in a car in flood water has been rescued. 

Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service were called at around 11.10am today (Wednesday, January 3) to reports of a man stuck in a vehicle in deep flood water. 

The car became stuck on Coddenham Road in Needham Market, a road that has suffered horrendously from flooding during the various storms of late 2023 and early 2024, including Storm Henk. 

The man was helped from the trapped car by a fire crew from Needham Market in a rescue that took half an hour, until around 11.40am.

Weather warnings for further rainfall in the county have been issued for Thursday, January 4 and Friday, January 5.

Homes have been left without power across the county as a result of the storm. 

Fire crews do not recover vehicles from flood water and people should only call 999 in the event of an emergency or risk to life.
