TWO people rescued from their vehicle during yesterday’s floods remain in hospital today where they are being treated for hypothermia.

North Yorkshire Police said the motorists were not in a life-threatening condition.

The rescue took place at Thornton Rust, between Leyburn and Hawes, in North Yorkshire, where a car carrying three people was washed away.

One person managed to escape from the water, but two others had to be rescued by a helicopter from RAF Kinloss.
