2 Rescued From Trapped Car On Flooded South Bay Street

SAN DIEGO — Two people were rescued Wednesday morning from a car that was trapped on a flooded street in San Diego's South Bay, according to a news report.

A Dodge Charger became stuck on a flooded roadway at La Media and Airway roads amid the region's first strong rain storm of the season. San Diego Fire-Rescue crews freed the two people inside the vehicle, NBC 7 San Diego reported.

"The road was closed after we got stuck so there was no sign that we could not enter," the driver told NBC 7. "We didn't know how deep the water was."

A cold, low-pressure system is expected to make its way south Wednesday as the storm system that brought rain Tuesday moves to the east, according to the National Weather Service.

Showers were mostly light overnight, but heavier showers are expected starting Wednesday morning and continuing through Wednesday afternoon, forecasters said. Thunderstorms could also develop in the mountains, coastal areas and the inland valleys Wednesday afternoon.

A flash flood watch remains in effect until late Wednesday evening in the inland valleys and the mountains.
