Sorry to say but this isn't an uncommon occurrence at that ford. There are plenty of warning signs before it, but people think they know better. 

And here's a piccy of the prototype amphibious Octavia mk2 estate which never quite made it to market ...

Yes, same ford: Shell Ford, Himbleton, Worcs. (http://www.wetroads.co.uk/worcestershire.htm) Read down the page.
Know it well and most of the time it is quite innocuous, but that stream can come up quickly.  

It appears the wire up-stream from the foot bridge has gone otherwise the Yeti wouldn't have got that far.

Looks like a Pano roof would have come in handy on that Yeti.

Handy for keeping your feet dry whilst fishing.

Got a bit optimistic with the wading depth me thinks.

Or to "flooding the engine".

There was another yeti parked on a drive which had been flooded to nearly roof height befoire the waters receded on Isle of Man, on the bbc report.
