14-year-old scout and member of the Ribble Canoe Club William Wicks decided to make the most of the weekend's flooding and took his canoe to Croston Road near Lostock Hall, Preston, to take a closer look at a taxi which had been submerged and abandoned.
Heavy rain battered Lancashire at the weekend, leading to travel disruption across the county.
