The Colorado Springs Fire Department responded to a stranded motorist Friday after a vehicle drove into a flooded intersection on the west side of the city, officials confirmed.

Fire crews were dispatched on Friday, July 24, after a driver became stranded in floodwaters. Firefighters responded to the area of 8th Street and Moreno Avenue, north of Motor City.

CSFD reported that several intersections throughout Colorado Springs had flooded following heavy rain and storms that passed through the area. The incident at 8th Street and Moreno was among the calls fire crews fielded as conditions deteriorated across the city.

Officials warned drivers not to drive through standing water, cautioning that doing so could result in vehicles becoming stuck. The department used the response as an occasion to issue a broader public warning against driving through flooded streets.

The scope of street-level flooding across Colorado Springs underscored the hazards that accompany fast-moving summer storm systems in the region. CSFD confirmed that multiple flooded intersections were reported throughout the city after the storms moved through.

It remains unclear how many total calls CSFD fielded in connection with the flooding event, and no further details about road closures or additional rescues had been confirmed in initial reports.
