ABC News reporter Steve Campion even took his mike with him into the water to help a man from his sinking car, all captured on video.
Reporter Steve Champion earned his surname when, while setting up for a live television report, he and his camera operator saw a man unwittingly drive his compact car into a deeply flooded area of a freeway.
Champion yells to the man, who seems bewildered and confused, to “leave the car, swim!” Moments later, the car disappears completely under the water.
“I just thought it was a puddle, no more,” the man says.
It happened in the midst of historic, devastated floods in Houston, where more than a month’s worth of rain has fallen in under 24 hours.
The harrowing incident was caught on camera, as Champion made his report while helping the man to safety.
