Father Rescues Son From Flooded Car

Andre Randles, a 22-year-old father from Todmorden, UK, heroically rescued his 11-month-old son, Luca, from their sinking car during severe flooding caused by Storm Bert. After mistakenly driving into what he thought was shallow water, Randles found the vehicle quickly filling with water, reaching his chest before he was able to escape through a window. His partner, Paige Newsome, expressed gratitude for their survival, noting the frightening speed at which the situation escalated. Local flood defences were unable to prevent significant flooding in the area, prompting concerns about climate impacts from Labour MP Josh Fenton-Glynn. Randles' quick thinking and determination to save his son have drawn public admiration and highlighted safety concerns in flood-prone regions.
