Evansville, IN — Emergency crews responded to a water rescue Thursday night after a vehicle drove into a flooded ditch at the intersection of Christ and Weaver Road. The call came in at approximately 8:13 p.m., prompting a swift response from local authorities.
According to officials with the Evansville Police Department (EPD), the driver of the vehicle attempted to navigate through high water but was unable to avoid driving into the ditch. Fortunately, all occupants of the vehicle managed to exit the car without any reported injuries.
The high-water conditions have led to the closure of the intersection, as officials continue to monitor the area for further flooding risks. This incident follows severe weather that swept through the Tri-State region on Wednesday, which is believed to have contributed to the hazardous road conditions.
As of now, the intersection remains closed while crews work to manage the situation and ensure the safety of motorists and residents in the area. Authorities are urging drivers to avoid the area and exercise caution when traveling in areas affected by floodwaters.
