A lucky driver escaped unscathed after their car got stranded in a “deceptively deep” flooded ford at Shell Ford, Himbleton, near Droitwich — a spot infamous for catching drivers out.
Tesla Trapped by Rising Waters
A white Tesla was spotted stuck at a sharp angle against a bridge, wedged and unable to move. It’s not the first time — several drivers have fallen victim to this tricky water crossing.
Why Shell Ford Is a Menace to Drivers
- Floodwaters mask the true depth, fooling even the most cautious motorists.
- Slippery riverbed and strong currents turn crossing into a nightmare.
- Narrow bridge leaves few escape routes if you get stuck.
Thankfully, the driver walked away without a scratch. But locals warn: steer clear of Shell Ford after heavy rain or risk getting caught in the flood trap again.
