A video of a woman rescued by police from a car stuck in a flood in Arizona has gone viral. In the video shared by the Apache Junction Police Department, the car can be seen stuck in the strong flowing water. The standing of the car in the water is frightening.
The policemen broke the car window and threw a tow strap through it, but the woman was initially unable to crawl out. As the policemen repeatedly asked them, they would hold on to the strap and slowly come out and escape.
The woman was worried about her pet dog since it got stuck in the car. Police officers can also be heard shouting from outside to save the dog.
A detention officer and a Mesa firefighter made the rescue, the Apache Junction Police Department said on Twitter. The incident was on July 28.
“We are deeply saddened that we were able to save the driver but not her dog. At last check, family and friends were searching for this beloved pet,” the law enforcement agency said on Twitter.
