Overview
- A vehicle entered a low‑water creek crossing that rapidly flooded on Saturday, and first responders waded into rushing water to pull an infant from a carrier and evacuate the other occupants with no reported injuries.
- The Beeville Police Department posted body‑camera video of the rescue on its Facebook page and media outlets widely circulated the footage.
- Authorities said heavy rain moved in so fast that barricades had not yet been placed and a fire chief tried to flag the driver down before the car was pushed by the current.
- Police used the footage to urge residents to slow down in heavy rain, avoid flooded crossings, obey barricades, and warned that driving around barricades is both dangerous and a criminal offense.
- The National Weather Service issued flood warnings for the Aransas River and Bee County, and officials say the clip should raise public awareness about how quickly low‑water crossings can become impassable and put families at risk.
