Storm Gareth flooding closes major Ribble Valley road
Overnight downpours have led to the closure of a major road.
The A59 at the Abattoir in the Ribble Valley is closed from Sawley at the junction Bolton-by-Bowland.
Police made the decision to close the road due to the extremely wet conditions and spokesman for Lancashire Police said: "We appreciate this may add some distance to your journey but it is better than being stranded."
