An opportunist driver has been left red faced after trying to beat a road closure in Southport.

Rotten Row continues to be closed off weeks after heavy rain flooded the popular rat run.

However one driver in an expensive 4×4 thought his vehicle could overcome the flood and make it through by driving illegally on the grass.

Unfortunately for him the car became stuck in heavy mud from the nearby rainfall and he now has to wait to be rescued.

Unfortunately rescue vehicles are currently unable to access the road due to the flooding.
