Ann Lopez drove past police barricades on Farm-to-Market Road 2499, which has been closed to traffic for two days due to rising waters from Denton Creek, according to police.
Onlookers watched as authorities used a dump truck to rescue Lopez. Her condition was not immediately released, but authorities said she appeared to be fine.
Lopez was later arrested for disobeying a traffic control device; a class B misdemeanor.
The road between Grapevine Mills Boulevard and Lakeside Parkway between Grapevine and Flower Mound has been closed since Thursday.
Flower Mound Police officers were stationed at road blocks to control access to apartments located inside the closed area.
Investigators said they do not believe alcohol was a factor.
