Two Motorists Helped to Safety on Flooded Independence Street

Firefighters helped get two people to safety after their car flooded in Independence on Wednesday afternoon.

The Independence Fire Department was dispatched for a car in the water at the intersection of 2nd Street and 3rd Avenue Northwest around 1:30 pm. 

On the scene, crews found a car had driven into high waters from a recent storm that passed through. 

Both people inside the car were assisted to dry land as the car was inoperable due to water damage. 

Independence Fire worked alongside the City, Police Department and Independence Streets Department.
