Dallas Fire-Rescue, along with units from the Dallas Police Department and the Dallas Fire-Rescue Swift Water Rescue team, responded to the location and said they saw two vehicles that were submerged due to the rapidly rising water levels.

Officials said two people were seen escaping one of the vehicles, but crews needed to wait for flash flooding to subside to see if anyone was in the second vehicle.

Dallas Fire-Rescue said that when first responders were eventually able to search the second vehicle, they found an adult man still inside, and he was pronounced dead.

No other information was immediately available.
