The floodwater caused the vehicle to overturn, compelling the woman to swim in the cold waters and climb onto the top of the car.
On Tuesday, a California woman was rescued after spending approximately 15 hours stranded on the top of her overturned car, partially submerged in rushing water on a flooded remote road, as reported by officials, Fox News reported.
The incident occurred when the woman attempted to cross to the other side of a flooded road in the 7000 block of Del Valle Road in Livermore at around 7:30 pm on Monday, according to the Alameda County Fire Department. Underestimating the depth of the water, her car was swept away.
The floodwater caused the vehicle to overturn, compelling the woman to swim in the cold waters and climb onto the top of the car. Authorities informed KTVU FOX 2 that the woman had lost her cell phone, rendering her unable to call for assistance.
