Two lorries are causing chaos on one of Britain's most-flooded roads this morning (Wednesday February 18).
The lorries have both slipped off the road at Welney Wash, which runs along the Cambridgeshire and Norfolk border.
The lorries are almost blocking the road as water levels have reached the highest of the season.

Last night (February 17), the river levels reached 3.04 metres.
This morning the levels hit 3 metres.
A spokesperson for the group said: "The depth of water on the wash road will be up to 23in/58cm on the deeper eastern side, 18/45cm in the centre of the road and in the western carriageway heading to Welney up to 15in/36cm, so it is deep."
The road remains closed.
