Flood Hero: Baby

Vikki was stuck on the motorway for 10 hours with her 9-month-old baby when two unknown drivers offered some vital travel advice.

I had pulled over for the night as I had been stuck in traffic for 10 hours with a 9-month-old baby becoming more and more hysterical.

I decided that enough was enough and pulled over so that I could change, feed and cuddle my daughter, then hopefully get some sleep.

Two young men tapped on my window and said to me: "Please don't stay here for the night as they are gong to close the road soon, and you will be stuck most of tomorrow as well."

They told me that a friend had already passed through at Strensham services and it was clear the rest of the way.

I am still grateful to my anonymous heroes as I don't even want to think about what would have happened if I had stayed put.
