HOUSTON — A news crew captured the rescue of a truck driver stranded in the flood after the reporter flagged down a boat to save him.
Business Insider reported that reporter Brandi Smith and photographer Mario Sandoval were broadcasting live from the highway when Sandoval noticed a truck on the road submerged in water with the driver still inside.
“The lights are going on this truck and the windshield wipers are going and as we get a little closer, it does look like there is someone inside. There is movement inside of this truck,” Smith said in the broadcast.
Smith flagged down a Harris County Sheriff’s Department vehicle with a boat in tow.
“Are you guys headed down to the truck right here?” Smith said. “There is a truck driver stuck here in about 10 feet of water.”
The two sheriff’s deputies quickly arrived in the boat to the truck and pulled the driver out of the truck from the window.
