When they traveled down the hill, they said they witnessed a truck make it through the dangerous conditions at the intersection of Hasley Canyon and Del Valle roads.

But then a van attempted to cross the intersection next, and they said it was swept away by floodwaters into a stop sign and trapped.

With no emergency crews in sight, Nick Kennedy jumped into one of their tractors and drove over to the van.

Shortly later, a second woman is helped out of the window.

Nick Kennedy then drove the women away from the floodwaters and over to safety.
