Crews with Rural Metro Fire and Knox County Sheriff's deputies responded to a call for help Friday morning after a family of three got stuck in a car in high water, Jeff Bagwell with Rural Metro confirmed.
The woman and two children had gotten out of the car by the time crews arrived, Bagwell said. No injuries were reported.
The car had stalled in a driveway, surrounded by a lot of mud and standing water.
Bagwell said he believes they drove into high water that had pooled in the driveway.
"That's what we tell people over and over again not to do," Bagwell said.
The incident occurred near Thorngrove Pike and John Sevier Highway in Knox County.
