Digger driver rescues his grandparents during Lincolnshire flood

By then, the water had risen to about 3in (7.5cm) and at the height of the flood it was about 1ft (30cm) deep, Ryan said.

His grandfather, Hayden, said he was “really pleased” that Ryan and Dean were on hand to rescue them.

“At the time, I wasn’t frightened because I’d got Ryan and Dean here and everything just went as clockwork,” he added.

After driving his grandparents to safety, Ryan returned to rescue more people from their homes, but had to stop as “the water got too deep, even for the digger”.

“That last trip, when you couldn’t see the front wheels of the digger, the water was over it, it was a bit hair-raising,” he added.

At least 88 properties have been flooded internally in the county, according to the Lincolnshire Resilience Forum.
