‘I Thought I Was Going to Die’: Fox Reporter Saves Woman From Submerged Car

Fox Weather reporter Robert Ray saved a woman’s life after her car began to float away as historic rainfall inundated Dallas.

Stephanie Carroll didn’t recognize the threat from the dangerous floodwaters in front of her until it was too late. Almost immediately, the deceptively high water began to flood Carroll’s vehicle.

Thankfully, Ray and his camera operator had begun preparing for a live shot to capture the catastrophic flooding on the downtown freeways.

Without hesitation, Ray swooped into action.

WARNING: EXPLICIT LANGUAGE

Per FOX 4:

“She literally, as I was standing here setting up for the shot, guys, pulled in and didn’t realize it,” Ray said. “The next thing you know, her car was floating. So, I went out there and tried to push her vehicle as best I could.”

Ray said he was trying to push the car closer to higher ground but quickly realized that wasn’t going to happen, so Ray pulled the woman from the window of her car.

“I thought I was going to die,” Carroll said. “Right then I started panicking. I just wanted to get out of my car. I wanted to tell him thank you. He’s awesome, a blessing from God, actually.”

In less than 24 hours, a summer’s worth of rain fell on the Dallas-Forth Worth metroplex. Dozens of high water rescues, mostly from stranded and submerged cars, were still ongoing midday Monday. A further 450 occurred the night before.

Per CNN:

Nearly 15 million people from northeastern Texas into northern Louisiana and far southern Arkansas are covered by flood watches from the same system that unleashed heavy rain and flash floods this weekend in parts of the Southwest.

Rain reportedly fell at a rate only seen once every 100 years.
