Las Vegas Metropolitan Police | Overton Rescue by Air Unit Sept. 14, 2022 @LasVegasMetropolitanPolice | Uploaded September 2022 | Updated October 2024, 1 day ago.
HELICOPTER RESCUE
Raging flood waters hit the northeastern part of Clark County last night.
Around 2 a.m., LVMPD received reports of people trapped in their vehicle in the Overton area.
In fact, an older couple had pulled off the highway to get some rest. But a short time later, torrential rain sent floodwaters in their direction.
This is video taken by our LVMPD Northeast Resident Section officers who worked in coordination with our Air Unit and Search and Rescue to save lives.
The Air Unit arrived just in time as the couple's van filled with water to about chest level. They were hoisted out of the van and brought to safety.
