Two people had to abandon a vehicle on Saddle Road in southwest Ford County Tuesday, according to Fire Chief Rob Boyd.

The driver and a passenger were not from Ford County and did not require transport for treatment, according to Boyd. 

That area of Ford County received from 5-7 inches of rain. As the water recedes, officials hope to pull the vehicle from the water late Tuesday, according to Boyd.
