Crawley: Kilnmead Road flooded after Met Office weather warning

Torrential rain poured onto Kilnmead Road in Crawley this morning with cars fighting through the flooded road.

The disruption comes after the Met Office warned that torrential rain and thunderstorms was set to hit the North and West of the county this morning - with more on the way.
