SWAMPSCOTT — Police and firefighters had to assist a woman out of her vehicle after it became stuck in more than six inches of water Monday in a Paradise Road shopping plaza.
“A person drove into six to eight inches of water and she was assisted from the vehicle,” said Swampscott Fire Capt. Steven Greenbaum. “There was nothing remarkable about the incident. The area floods on a regular basis with heavy rains.”
Swampscott Police and Fire responded to the 1005 Paradise Road shopping plaza at approximately 10:30 a.m. and found a car stuck in the water near Marshalls, officials said.
“The car died in the water,” said Greenbaum, noting that the woman could have escaped the car on her own. “She was unhurt.”
