Gujarat: Couple Rescued After Spending 2 Hours On Top Of Car After Being Swept Away In Floods
A man along with his wife swept away while crossing a flooded causeway in the Sabarkantha district of Gujarat on Sunday, officials said. The duo spent nearly two hours stranded on top of their partially submerged car before being swept away.
Fire officials eventually rescued the couple after the water level receded, as strong currents initially made the operation difficult in Idar town. The car was carried about 1.5 km from the causeway it was trying to cross, with only its roof visible after the Karol River swelled dangerously, fire officer Kamal Patel explained, news agency PTI reported.
