A man and woman were helped out of flood waters after their car stalled in the water on Pruitt Lane Tuesday morning.
Christian County Sheriff’s deputies say a man and woman were heading towards Bradshaw Road when their vehicle entered the water and stalled leaving them in about waist deep water.
The local Amish Community was able to use horses to pull the vehicle out of the water and the female in the vehicle was taken by Hopkinsville EMS to Jennie Stuart Health to be checked out.
Shortly after leaving the scene authorities were called back to the same area for a second driver in a Jeep that attempted to cross the high water and stalled as well.
Deputies were assisted by the Pembroke Fire Department, Christian County Rescue, and Hopkinsville EMS.
The road has permanent high water signs but after the first vehicle stalled in the water more temporary signs were added.
