A ROAD safety expert has warned of danger on a busy Herefordshire main road in the wake of flooding across the county.
Dave Harford, who has spent many years working for the emergency services, has issued a warning this morning to drivers using the A4103 between Hereford and Worcester.
Mr Harford said this morning that there is still "significant flooding" on the A4103 at Shucknall in Herefordshire, while there are a "huge amount of large rocks and debris" strewn across the carriageway.

The warning comes in the wake of Friday's heavy thunderstorms, which saw roads across Herefordshire, including the A4103 at Withington, hit badly by flooding.
The Met Office had warned that heavy rain could hit the county on September 20, and the county is not out of the woods yet, with a further weather warning for thunderstorms in force for Herefordshire today.
A Met Office yellow weather warning for rain is also set to come into force on Sunday.
