A lucky woman was saved from a car seconds before it was swept away in a flood.
A man filming the incident could be heard exclaiming in shock as he filmed a half-submerged hatchback being washed under a bridge.
He then pointed his phone at another vehicle that was starting to move with the force of the current.

A man holding an umbrella could be seen jogging towards the stricken vehicle.
With murky water up to his knees, he dropped his umbrella and waded towards the door.
He managed to prise it open as flood water gushed past him a couple of yards away.
The woman could be seen emerging from the car and the two walked up a ramp before the vehicle could be swept downstream.
The drama unfolded on Monday (3 Mar) in Telde, on the Spanish Canary Island of Gran Canaria.
Local media said several cars were swept away as the Las Bachilleras ravine overflowed with rainwater.
The rain in Gran Canaria on Monday was caused by a cold drop.
Telde saw up to 32 litres of rainfall per square metre, as reported by Need To Know.
A cold drop is a meteorological phenomenon where a mass of cold air at high altitude collides with warm, humid air near the surface.
This clash causes intense storms, often leading to heavy rainfall, strong winds, and flash floods.
Several ravines on the island collapsed, leading to landslides.
Homes and businesses were flooded, and one car even ended up in the sea.
No casualties were reported.
