This led to images being released of cars and other vehicles stuck in the water near Hawes, with other pictures showing members of the public wading out of their cars and through the water on walks.

"Crew used swift water rescue gear to wade into the water and walk the occupant from their vehicle back to safety. The occupant was advised to arrange his own vehicle recovery."
