Four people were helped out of the car by residents and given a change of clothes while they waited for the emergency services to arrive, of which two men were taken to hospital for precautionary treatment.

An eyewitness who helped the people inside said one man had "profuse bleeding" from a head injury and suspected the other had a broken shoulder, while they said the other two people only suffered minor cuts.

Police said it was unknown why the car had left the road and got stuck in the water, but photographs show it partially submerged with a side door open.
