“A gentleman had a medical issue and drove his vehicle into a foot of floodwater,” Jersey County Sheriff’s Sgt. Marshall said. “The Ford Expedition was high enough off the ground that it did not get water in it. We were thankful it turned out to be a pretty minor situation. We had the tow company get the vehicle out of the water and it was not damaged at all. The man was transported by ambulance from the scene and was alert when he left.”
