Shocking picture shows mercedes car stranded in a pool of water on a Dublin motorway

Dublin Fire Brigade were forced to respond to a call from a helpless motorist who attempted to get off the M1 motorway using the ramp at J5 Balbriggan.

The Mercedes was almost completely sunk in the heavily flooded area and fire crews from Balbriggan and Finglas attended the scene. The fire service tweeted a picture to warn people against the dangers on our roads today, while the ramp has also been closed.
