The motorists drove around barriers and into swiftly moving floodwaters, police said.

Officers along with Princeton First Aid & Rescue Squad, the Princeton Fire Department, and the New Jersey State Police aviation unit successfully rescued a 58-year-old Princeton resident stranded in his car from floodwaters.

During this rescue, a second motorist went around barricades on Route 206 and found himself in the flooded waters, police said. The second motorist was ultimately rescued from the top of his vehicle by the Trenton Fire Department.

“We are sharing this as a reminder to not drive around barricades. They are there for your safety and we do not have the resources to have our officers physically at each road closure to enforce the "road closed" sign,” Princeton police said.

Between 10 p.m. on Sept. 1, and 8 a.m. on Sept. 2, the Princeton dispatch center received 393 calls of reports of stranded motorists, trapped motorists, abandoned vehicles with possible trapped drivers, flooded roadways, and residents trapped in their flooded homes, police said.

At least 27 people are reportedly dead as remnants of Hurricane Ida barreled through New Jersey last week.
