Flooding on flyover (Exeter bound) towards the end of flypver

Reported via mobile in the Flooding/drainage (NH) category anonymously at 07:43, Thu 21 October 2021

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 3075452.

I was driving home yesterday and there was a steam of water across the carriageway. It had a big impact on the control I had over my car. This was at 50 mph. My partner told me she aquaplaned the previous evening (hence my speed). The water was coming from the Plymouth bound carriageway.
