Story summary

On Tuesday morning in Tonopah, Arizona, a man became stranded atop his overturned truck due to rapidly rising floodwaters. The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office dispatched its Fox 1 aviation crew for a daring rescue mission. Due to the perilous conditions, responders opted for a "hoist rescue," with a helicopter pilot being lowered to secure and lift the man to safety using a rescue harness. The footage shows muddy floodwaters rushing around the vehicle while the man waits atop it. After securing him in the harness, the crew hoisted both the man and the rescuer back into the helicopter. Upon reaching the riverbank, fire personnel were on standby for immediate medical attention if needed. Pilot Rich Dickner emphasized the urgency of the rescue, noting that water levels had risen significantly during their operation.
