The man seen ly­ing on the bon­net of a par­tial­ly sub­merged ve­hi­cle dur­ing yes­ter­day’s se­vere flood­ing along Trantrill Road in Ca­roni is safe af­ter swim­ming away from dan­ger.

The in­ci­dent, cap­tured on video and wide­ly cir­cu­lat­ed on so­cial me­dia, showed the mo­torist strand­ed on top of his car af­ter he drove in­to ris­ing flood­wa­ters.

The ve­hi­cle was swept off the road­way by pow­er­ful flood­wa­ter af­ter per­sis­tent rain­fall in­un­dat­ed the area.
