Houston Reporter Flags Down Rescuers
Houston KHOU reporter Brandi Smith flagged down rescuers while on air to alert them of a man stuck in the cab of a semi-truck on a flooded highway. Broadcasting live from near a flooded Houston highway, Smith ran and waved to get the attention of two sheriff’s deputies who were passing by. On their way somewhere else, the deputies stopped to rescue the stranded driver, punching out the window of his truck with a crowbar and pulling him to safety. After the rescue, Smith asked the man a couple questions and gave him a hug.
