San Antonio Closes 25 Crossings Under Flash Flood Warning as Crews Rescue Drivers
2 articles · Updated · FOX 29 · May 27
25 low-water crossings were closed across San Antonio by 10:50 p.m. as a flash flood warning remained in effect until 1:15 a.m.
San Antonio firefighters answered several high-water rescue calls, including vehicles stranded on General Hudnell Drive just before 10 p.m.
The department said every rescue so far involved drivers entering standing water and stalling, prompting renewed warnings to turn around rather than cross flooded roads.
Heavy rain had already submerged vehicles elsewhere in the city earlier Tuesday night, and flooding was expected to remain a threat into Wednesday morning.
