BLOOMING GROVE, New York (WABC) -- It was a dramatic scene on Friday in a river in Orange County. A woman was on top of a car waiting for rescuers to help her after her car ended up in water in Blooming Grove.
Officials say she lost control and careened into the rain-swollen creek.
Tuthill Road in the town of Blooming Grove was slick from rain.
"It was called in by a passing motorist who saw the car in the water," says Washingtonville Fire Chief Gary Hearn.
The woman was the only person in the car. She is expected to be okay.
