Watch: Kayaker picks up man stranded after car stalls in Wisconsin floodwaters
"Please avoid driving through high water — unless your car floats, or you’ve made prior arrangements with your kayak-owning friend Dave," the Holmen Police Department quipped on social media Wednesday.
Police see funny side as kayaker comes to aid of driver stuck in floodwater
Police in Holmen, Wisconsin, issued a lighthearted warning on Wednesday urging drivers to steer clear of flooded streets following heavy rainfall – unless they had cars that could float, or made prior arrangements with a kayak-owning friend.
HOLMEN, Wisc. – Following a deluge of rain this week in Wisconsin, one local police department issued a refreshingly candid – and hilarious – warning to local drivers.
"Please avoid driving through high water — unless your car floats, or you’ve made prior arrangements with your kayak-owning friend Dave," the Holmen Police Department quipped on social media Wednesday.
The lighthearted advisory accompanied a video that perfectly illustrated their point as a man in a kayak paddling towards a car stranded in floodwaters, ultimately providing a lift to the vehicle's driver.
