Former England rugby player Tom Voyce is believed to have died after apparently trying to cross a flood-swollen river in his car.

Northumbria Police said the 43-year-old is believed to have gone into the River Aln near Alnwick, Northumberland, which was hit by heavy rain during Storm Darragh.

Currently there are police officers searching for Tom, who sadly hasn’t been seen since Saturday 7 December. A member of the police force has said: “At this time, it is suspected Tom has attempted to cross Abberwick Ford in his car, which has then been pulled along with the current of the river.

Officers have since recovered his car, but sadly Tom is yet to be found. It is believed in his attempts to escape he has been swept away and tragically died.” Tom’s disappearance was reported to local police on Sunday (8 December) when the rugby star hadn’t returned home following an evening out with his friends on Saturday night.
