SAN ANTONIO – It was a scary situation for a woman caught in high, fast-moving water northeast of the city Tuesday night.
Police were called to I-35 at Salado Creek Greenway around 9:45 p.m. for a high water rescue.
While they were helping the man, a young woman came forward and told police that her friend was inside a vehicle flooded with rushing water. This second incident occurred directly across from the location of the initial stalled vehicle, on I-35 South, so crews quickly redirected their attention to help her.
SAFD walked to the victim caught in swift currents, secured her to them and then escorted her to safety.
No injuries were reported in this incident, and no citations were issued.
But officials have a reminder for everyone. If you see high water, turn around… don’t drown.
