POE, Ind. (AP) – Two people have been rescued from the top of an SUV after it got stuck in floodwaters outside of Fort Wayne.

The driver had called 911 around 11:15 p.m. Sunday to say her Jeep was stuck in deep floodwater in an area that's about 12 miles southeast of Fort Wayne.

The water was about 4 feet deep. Both were given life jackets by rescue swimmers until they could be taken by boat to safety.
