Driver trapped in locked car as water surges in. Watch calm California deputy arrive

A deputy’s quick thinking helped rescue a driver from her car after it was swept into a creek, California officials said.

A woman was driving when her car hit a huge puddle and she lost control of the vehicle, landing her in a creek on Feb. 4, according to a Facebook post by the Marin County Sheriff’s Office.

The car ended up in the flooded creek and “became inoperable” with the doors and windows locking, deputies said.

The car began to fill up with water, but the driver was able to call 911 and Deputy Mike Dawson arrived at the scene, officials said.

“Are you in there? Where are you at, in the back?,” Dawson can be heard saying in body camera footage shared by the sheriff’s office.

Dawson asks the woman how much air she has above her before deciding to break the back window, the video showed.

“I’m right here OK,” Dawson can be heard saying. “Just relax.”

The woman was taken to safety, but the car had been “completely overtaken by the rushing creek,” deputies said.

Officials urged drivers to remember to slow down during wet weather and to “not drive through standing water on the road.”

Marin County is about a 40-mile drive northwest of San Francisco.
