Sheffield was hammered by torrential rain yesterday evening (June 19) when a thunderstorm broke out at around 7pm and caused localised flooding on roads across the city.

A dramatic video has now emerged showing how a car was utterly submerged in floodwater and the driver had to be helped to safety by a Good Samaritan.

The car driver was caught out under the railway bridge on Upwell Street, where water rose to at least a metre deep in yesterday’s storm.
