Chattanooga firefighters from the Swiftwater Rescue Team pulled six people from a van stranded at Davidson Road and Gunbarrel Road where rising water from an overflowing creek nearly swept the vehicle away, according to a social media post from the department. No injuries were reported.

A mother, father and child were killed when a tree fell on their car during heavy rain and flooding in Tennessee, where submerged roads also led to dramatic rescues of people trapped in their cars, authorities said Wednesday.
