However, the strong current of the floodwaters quickly overwhelmed the vehicle, pushing it off the road and into the flooded fields.
Sensing danger, the three occupants of the car opened the doors and managed to escape from the sinking vehicle. Local residents alerted the Fire Brigade, who arrived at the scene and, with the help of locals, managed to pull the almost submerged car from the flooded fields.
