Video footage: Man stranded in his car while being beat down by heavy floods

Video footage of a man stranded in his car during the floods that took place in Saudi Arabia has been circulating online.

The incident took place during the heavy floods an rainfall that consumed most of the North and Western parts of Saudi Arabia earlier last week.

Footage revealed the man stranded in his vehicle as strong flood water beat down on him in the city of Tabuk.

Rescue attempts by volunteers went in vain as the gushing waters prevented any attempts to reach the man.

Efforts by the Civil Defence proved fruitful as they saved the man as he hung on the tree that his car had crashed into.
