CLAY CO., Ind. (WTHI) - One Clay County man was able to breathe a sigh of relief Monday morning after his car became stranded on a county road.

Clay County and additional fire departments responded to a call into dispatch about a man being stranded on a flooded road.

According to firefighters, the man was driving along C.R. 200 E. near Center Point when his vehicle hit high standing water and stalled around 5:30 a.m. 

The man was forced to exit his vehicle and climb onto the roof of the vehicle to avoid getting wet.
