Emergency workers rescued drivers on a popular commuter route to Washington Monday after a water main break sent a 4-foot wall of water down the road.
At least 15 people in were rescued after the water main failed about 8 a.m. at River Road and Fenway Drive in Bethesda, Md., near the Congressional Country Club, an official said.
Helicopters from the Maryland State Police and U.S. Park Police used buckets to save a handful of drivers, while the county’s Swift Water and Technical Rescue teams used boats and ropes for others, said Pete Piringer, a spokesman for the Montgomery County Fire Department.
“Some motorists here — this is a fairly popular commuter route into Washington — they were confronted with a 4-, 5-foot wall of water,” Piringer told FOX News.
