Mercedes rescued from Kenilworth ford
By The Editor 17th Nov 2025
A Mercedes and its driver had to be rescued from Kenilworth's ford on Friday night (November 14).
Images of the rescue were sent to Nub News by TikToker and YouTuber Finlay Howarth.
The incident came after sustained heavy rain on Friday as Storm Claudia hit the UK.
An amber weather warning was in place throughout the day, as was a flood alert at Finham Brook.
The ford was raised for most of the day, with Castle Road impassable.
Kenilworth police also took to social media to tell motorists to stay away.
They said: "The 1% question of the day… Should I drive through Kenilworth Ford?!
"DO NOT drive through the flood water.
"DO NOT move the temporary road closure/signs/cones.
"The water level marker is currently at 4ft. For your safety, your passengers safety and your vehicle's lifespan, USE AN ALTERNATIVE ROUTE."
