Three cars have been stranded after flooding caused chaos on Norfolk's roads.

The vehicles have been abandoned after rising river levels flooded the road in Welney.

The cars passed signs and barriers that warned of the nearly half a metre of flood water.

This comes after the Environment Agency has warned people to take care after issuing the county with multiple flood warnings this morning. 

Flooding is expected to continue in the coming days as more wind and rain are on the way.
