Search to resume for kayaker who went missing during Storm Katie

Searches will resume on Tuesday for a man who disappeared after a kayak capsized during Storm Katie.

Emergency teams used boats and a police helicopter to scour the River Wey in Guildford, Surrey, after the man vanished on Monday.

Onlookers said he had gone to help his son, who is believed to be aged around 12, when he was overcome by the strong current.

They said the kayak "was being dragged around like a bottle very fast" and while the boy made it to safety, the man vanished in the water.

Surrey Police said it planned to resume the search on Tuesday morning and a car park near the scene would remain closed.

Strong winds that battered Britain as Storm Katie hit blew the roof off a four storey house forcing residents to evacuate today.
