A POSTMAN was left stranded for hours after his van became stuck in floodwater while delivering to a school.
The postie was making a delivery to Chaigeley School in Thelwall at around 10.30am today, Friday, when he got into difficulty.
It is believed that the vehicle’s engine was flooded after he attempted to navigate what was described as a ‘lake’ which has formed at the Lymm Road site following recent wet weather.
Eyewitness William Ansell told the Warrington Guardian: “Chaigeley School has had a bad spate of flooding due to the recent dangerous, rainy weather.
“Due to this, the driveway more accurately resembles a lake.
“A postman was attempting to deliver mail to the school.
“However when attempting to blindly navigate through the lake, his van stopped due to what is assumed to be a flooded engine.
“The postman has had to wait for hours for recovery, potentially causing minor disruption to the postal service in the local area.”
