At 11.36am on Wednesday, January 29th, the Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service crews from Carmarthen, Haverfordwest, Newcastle Emlyn and Cardigan Fire Stations were called to an incident in Llechryd in Cardigan.
Crews responded to one private motor vehicle stuck in floodwater, with one occupant inside the vehicle. Crews rescued the casualty from the vehicle and brought them to a dry and safe location. Crews left the scene at 1.22pm.
The road has since been closed until the floodwater subsides.
Flooding Safety Advice

Journeys should be planned beforehand, with alternative routes identified if needed. More safety information on driving in heavy rain and flooded highways can be found here.
