Driver Trapped As Vehicle Floats in Freeway Flood

Authorities issued a traffic alert while they wait for maintenance crews to unclog the drains and clear the area, per CHP.

Firefighters rushed to the scene to rescue the person as water started pouring into the vehicle. A tow truck eventually pulled the car out of the water, and officials shut down the ramp indefinitely because a drainage pump failed.

Heavy flooding forced a complete closure of the 7th Street on-ramp to southbound Interstate 880 early this morning. A driver in a grey Toyota Avalon became trapped after the car began to float and rotate in the rising water.
