Flood Rescue

Flood rescue performed by the Wylie Fire Department using a Neoteric Hovertrek Hovercraft.
SACHSE (CBSDFW.COM) - There were at least two dramatic high-water rescues in Sacshe Friday morning.
First, around 6:30 a.m. a woman traveling north on Miles Road approaching Pleasant Valley Road, just south of the George Bush Turnpike, became trapped in her halfway submerged car when Rowlett Creek overflowed.
The woman said she instantly knew she was in water deeper than she could drive through, but before she could back up the water rose above her hood line and stalled the car’s engine. The woman was able to climb from the vehicle onto the roof, but was stranded.
At 6:45 a.m. members of Wylie Fire Rescue swift water team went to the area in a hovercraft. The first-responders first gave the woman a life jacket and then helped her off the roof of the car and into the boat.
From Chopper 11 it didn’t appear that the woman was injured.
