She went into the parking lot of an apartment complex that was flooded.
It didn't take long for her car to veer toward a swift-moving creek, the car got stuck on some nearby wires, but Stevens just couldn't get out.

"The vehicle was present for a good 30 minutes or so, over time you just see the lights, the dome lights, everything disappear," said a man at the scene.
The 47-year-old is being remembered as someone who always made others smile.
