Flooding on the A458 at Llangyniew Powys 14th March 2019 HD Dash cam videos from around Mid Wales UK

You never really know how deep flood water is until you can see other vehicles driving through it and of course by then it's usually too late. As there were about five vehicles behind me, I decided to continue and follow the arctic and van in front. As you can see from the footage all goes well until the very end where on the left, the hedge has been washed away and although it's not visible, the road dips causing flood water to start splashing over my bonnet. I drive a Mercedes van and my dash cam is set so the bonnet can't be viewed so that's about 1.2 meters high. The van was absolutely fine and I continued on my journey without any problems. Sadly can't say the same for many others as on the way back, I could see at least three cars that had broken down being attended to.

This morning, following heavy rain, the river Banwy burst its banks at Llangyniew near Llanfair Caereinion causing the A458, one of the main routes into Mid Wales and the Welsh coast, to be closed just after this footage was taken. The Banwy flows in a loop around this part of Mid Wales but days of heavy rain have caused it to flood consequently letting water flow across lower lying farmland to rejoin itself further downstream.
