Former England rugby star feared dead after Storm Darragh flood

He went missing in an area that was impacted by flooding

Northumbria Police said it received a report on Sunday that the 43-year-old had not returned home following an evening out with friends.

It is thought Mr Voyce attempted to cross Abberwick Ford, near Alnwick, in his car which was then pulled along by the current of the river.

His car has since been recovered but Mr Voyce is still missing.

Storm Darragh brought severe weather to the UK from the early hours of Saturday morning, prompting a number of flood warnings.

Voyce, originally from Truro, Cornwall, played for England from 2001 until 2006 before retiring from rugby in 2013.

He moved to Alnwick in 2020.
