Incredible footage shows part of the M57 submerged as parts of Merseyside were flooded following heavy rain.
Today Merseyside woke up to surprise flooding across the region. One video, taken from a taxi at 5.50am this morning and shared with the ECHO, shows the vehicle ploughing through a huge body of water formed on the M57 at Switch Island. The emergency services can be seen monitoring the situation and giving instructions with the water appearing to have risen high up close to the door of the taxi. A stationary lorry can also be seen in the video.Traffic monitoring site Inrix confirmed there were two lanes still closed and traffic still queueing as a result of the flooding on the M57 Northbound in some areas.
Earlier this morning, Merseyside Police warned drivers to stay safe when travelling around the area. A post on their Merseyside Police Contact Centre Twitter page said: "Please be careful if travelling in the area, as we have received several reports of widespread flooding. Should you see anything of a concern then please report online to your local council."
The Met Office forecast for today said it will be "a day of sunshine and showers" with the heaviest showers coming in the middle of the day. There is a chance of thunder, though it is expected to get drier this evening.
