At one point, the water was reportedly almost up to the windows of the car once it was in the creek. A nearby rain gauge showed water levels spiking around the time of the incident, which made it difficult and dangerous for the woman to get out.
Police said she called her family in a panic and the family then called 911.
Dallas police arrived and were able to conduct a water rescue to get her out of the wrecked SUV and out to safety.
