Everyone needs help once in a while, even first responders.
Several emergency vehicles, including an ambulance, got stuck in the mud on Wednesday when responding to a medical call in Guthrie. It happened because someone's GPS told them to turn down a rural road that was made impassable because of the recent rain storms, according to the Guthrie Fire Department.
Ex-military trucks had to be used to free the stuck vehicles.
Luckily, medics were able to treat the person who called for the ambulance at the scene without any issues.
Lincoln County has been particularly hard hit by the recent storms. Earlier in the week, public safety officials had to set up barriers to keep people from driving down flooded roads. In Chandler, parts of 8th Street started caving in.
“You couldn’t look to the left or right and not see something that wasn’t underwater,” Lincoln County resident Brandi Clay told KFOR on Monday.
In northeast Oklahoma City, part of Britton Road near Interstate 35 is indefinitely closed until road crews can repair the part of the road that was washed away by the rain, KOCO reported.
The rain is expected to continue through Friday, according to the National Weather Service.
