only way that people are choosing to get on the freeway.
The Senate back to you guys.
>> All right, thank you Sally
mamdooh when we’re talking a
bill Barajas last and we’re
going to talk in just a second.
He wished
He wished interviewing some folks who had
gone under water underneath
that and that overpass and
rescued a man from the
submerged Van they couldn’t
break the windows open the
back. They got the guy out to
try to give him CPR the
ambulance can they try to give
him CPR a sheriff Ed Gonzales
has just tweeted
we’re sad to report that an
adult occupant extracted from
the submerged Van
has been pronounced deceased at
the hospital remains unknown if
that mail was the only occupant
of the van about it so that’s
a. The second fatality that
we’ve heard of as a result of
the storm and this directly
related to driving and
watercress and was turning
around.
around. >> So many good Samaritans are
out there risking their own
lives step trying to get people
out of vehicles.
>> But let’s get with Bill will
Clinton and 59 a humble did you
hear what we just said Bill the
sheriff tweeted about the the
man who was rescued from the
van.
van. >> Yeah we heard
about the news of a sad and
unfortunate for many people
here, especially the guys
that’s about a group of 4, 5,
and then it jumped in the water
here. They were told by the
Harris County Sheriff’s Office
on scene. Now earlier I told
you before we
head out.
head out. Tossed a boss you guys back
there was a rescue team here in
a Marine unit from the Harris
County Sheriff’s office they
have since left they were going
to put a diver into the water
but then decided that the
the band that is some urgent
other where the man was pulled
out had been on that and are
there for for quite a while so
at this point it wasn’t a week
that was in a a rescue mission
it would have been a recovery
mission and they didn’t want to
put any of emergency responders
here anybody from the Marine
unit now the diver in harm’s
way out want to give you a look
out here again at what it looks
like the rain gauge reads about
8 feet but you can see that.
Taxicab over there trying to
seek higher ground basically on
an island we saw the gentleman
so to walk around on a cell
phone earlier than you have
just a couple feet away from
that a black car that is
basically some urged all the
way as well. 8 feet of
water here. The guys that we
talked to the jumped into the
water said they saw the van
going they tried to stop him.
They even got some pictures of
that they’re going to share
with us here in just a little
bit. It was a white van they
said that it quickly just went
under and that’s when they knew
that they had to go in and help
so just a very dangerous
situation. One
situation. One of those reasons that we stress
and authorities stress. A city
official stressed
official stressed to turn around and don’t drown
because you can’t really gauge
it by yourself about how deep
this water isn’t and what it
can do so when you go back over
here to these guys real quick
to buy can bother them. Andre,
I talked to you earlier.
I know you just got the sad
just a couple minutes ago.
