BERGEN COUNTY, NJ — Police rescued a bride, groom, and members of their wedding party from floodwaters Saturday in Bogota.
Quickly-rising floodwaters trapped the people in their vehicles. Bogota Police posted video of the rescue on Facebook Saturday.
“The fortunate thing, is we were able to help them through their first rough patch. Obviously their day has not gone as planned, so let’s congratulate them on their wedding and give them best wishes for a lifetime of love and adventure, starting now.”
Floodwaters made some North Jersey highways and roadways impassable Saturday, especially in Wayne and Little Falls.
Crews had to rescue people from stores because of the flooding, according to News12, and the videos show cars from a Chrysler Jeep Dodge dealer floating down the Peckman River and into a bridge.
Route 46 was even shut down. See related: Shocking Videos Show Floating Cars In NJ Floods, Piling Up
