Westport High Water Rescue Truck Goes to Work Overnight

Westport’s high water rescue truck was deployed overnight as flash floods quickly overtook several roadways -stranding motorists in its path. Assistance was given to one vehicle that was stuck on Morningside Drive North near Post Road East. Motorists were advised to stay off of the roadways throughout the storm as a Flash Flood Emergency was announced for our region by the National Weather Service’s New York City office - one of only two times one has ever been declared.
