## Resource

A driver narrowly escaped disaster after their car was swallowed by floodwaters at a low-water crossing on Old Kimbro Road—thanks to swift rescue efforts by Travis County Emergency Services. Helicopters hovered overhead as crews pulled the driver to safety, with no injuries reported. This wasn’t the only incident: overnight storms forced closures of over 90 crossings across Central Texas, and another driver suffered minor injuries after ignoring a barricade on Old San Antonio Road. Authorities are reiterating the life-saving mantra: “Turn around, don’t drown.” The Old Kimbro rescue also doubled as a real-world training drill for Austin Police, preparing them for future emergencies.
