Flooded Cars and Heroic Rescues | Newark News

Friday night’s brutal storms in North Jersey turned streets into rivers, swallowing cars and forcing dramatic rescues as firefighters pulled people from submerged vehicles—some barely visible under water, others stranded atop their own cars. Glen Rock saw two rescued under a railroad bridge, Fair Lawn dealt with multiple calls including someone trapped on top of their flooded car, and Hawthorne saved over twenty people. Officials warn: don’t underestimate floodwater depth—it can rise fast and trap you instantly. Stay away from flooded roads—your life could depend on it.
