TEMPLE, TX — Just before 5:30 AM Wednesday morning, Temple Firefighters were called to a vehicle in a creek in the area of 3237 Riverside Trail.
A driver attempted to cross flowing water and was quickly swept from the roadway. Temple Fire & Rescue's Special Operations Team, responded with multiple Swift Water Technicians.
Due to the overgrowth of trees and vegetation in the area, technicians entered the water to reach and rescue the driver, who had already climbed from the vehicle and was waiting atop his car.
No injuries associated with this incident have been reported at this time. With this second wave of storms moving in, the vehicle will remain in the creek until it is safe to remove it.
The Temple Firefighters encourages the public to stay safe, and not attempt to cross the flooded areas.
