Body of Texas Woman Found After Her Car Was Swept Away in Flood

Authorities found a Texas woman's body this morning after her car was swept away in high water, officials said.

Sandra Jones, 33, was found dead at 8:41 a.m., according to the Johnson County Sheriff's Office. Her body was found downstream from where her car was located after an overnight rain storm caused flooding, officials said in a press release.

According to the Associated Press, Jones' car was washed off the road in floods 10 to 12 feet above Rock Creek and emergency services received a 911 call early this morning for a rescue at Rock Creek Bridge. Deputies were able to inspect the vehicle around 4 a.m., when the water lowered. They did not find Jones inside.

Officials said that the Johnson County Sheriff's Office, Johnson County Emergency Management, Johnson County Emergency Services District and several local fire departments participated in the search mission.

Johnson County Sheriff's Office spokesman Tim Jones told ABC News today that the area is expecting another night of rainfall starting in the late afternoon. Sheriff Bob Alford of the Johnson County Sheriff's Office has urged residents to avoid driving on flooded roads.
