Man, Son Rescued From Flooded Car

LEOMINSTER, MA—A man and his son escaped possible tragedy when firefighters rescued them from their flooded car on Monday morning.

Heading out of a parking lot at Whitney Field, the father had not realized that the lot had ended because of flooding, and drove into a drainage ditch, reports WHDH-Channel 7 News.

In rescue suits, Leominster firefighters pulled the man and child from the car, which was towed out. A similar call came in later in the day, said WHDH.

Both the father and son are doing fine, reports NBC Boston.

Water in the drainage area comes from the Nashua River.
