More than 20 children have been rescued from a school bus that became trapped in several feet of flood water after the driver ignored a road closure sign.
Firefighters were called by some of the 26 pupils on the bus when it tilted into a verge and began to fill with water in Newton-on-Ouse on Tuesday morning. Flood rescue officers smashed a back window to rescue the children.
