Fort Worth High Water Rescue Finds Two Empty Cars Stalled in Flood

Motorists were able to exit the vehicles on their own

Fort Worth Fire Department found two empty vehicles stalled out due to high water on the service road southbound of Texas 360 south of Trinity Boulevard.

The Fort Worth Fire Department said the water was high enough to stall out the vehicles, but not too deep to be able to leave the vehicle.

The vehicles have been tagged with yellow tape to keep other motorists from driving into the high water.

So far, three people in North Texas have died as a result of high water on the roads.
