HAZEL GREEN, Ky. (LEX 18) â The floodwaters may have receded, but the memories of what happened Sunday night still remain.
A crew of volunteer firefighters with the Hazel Green Fire Department was out responding to storm damage when Eddie Stacy saw something peculiar. When I come around the curve, I could see a light from a cell phone just flashing on and off and it just caught my eye, volunteer firefighter Eddie Stacy said.
That light was coming from a car trapped in floodwaters from the Red River. Inside, there was a family of five. They were screaming for help.
