TWO cars have been left stranded in a car park as the river Wye bursts its banks on the Herefordshire border.
The two cars, which appear to be a silver Mini and silver Toyota, were left parked in the Wyeford car park.
The car park is alongside the river Wye which, according to Natural Resources Wales, has peaked at 4.287m.

The river has not yet peaked further downstream at Bredwardine and Old Bridge in Hereford.
That should be at some point before midnight, the Environment Agency says.
The estimates have been sparse from the agency today due to industrial action, with former employee Dave Throup warning it could endanger buildings and lives.
