Police confirm tragic news after car was submerged in heavy flooding in Queens Drive in south Liverpool on Saturday night
Merseyside Police were called to Queens Drive in Mossley Hill at around 9.20pm on Saturday, August 26 after reports of a concern for the safety of a man and a woman who were trapped in a car submerged in water under a bridge.
The emergency services at the scene located the body of a man and woman, both were taken to hospital where they were sadly pronounced dead. “We are at the early stages of an ongoing investigation on Queens Drive to establish the circumstances of this tragic incident. Road closures remain in the area as we continue with this investigation and motorists are advised to avoid the road."
She said: "We went to turn around the car and all of a sudden it looked like a waterfall coming down from the side of the bridge. As I looked back out of the window I turned to my mates and told them I thought I had just seen red lights under the water and I thought maybe someone had become stuck. I rang the police just to be safe."
Those living around the area told the ECHO about how the road, which dips as it goes beneath a bridge, has long been a problem. They said that multiple cars have been stuck in deep water in the last few months, which they said floods whenever there is torrential rain. "The whole of Rose Lane was moving [because of the water] yesterday then to think somebody drove down there.
