NJ Flooding Traps Drivers in Rising Waters

Heavy rainfall intensified rapidly Monday evening, causing flash floods across parts of southern New Jersey. Streets were submerged, leaving drivers stranded as water levels rose unexpectedly.

Viewer footage depicted Railroad Avenue in Hammonton completely underwater, with vehicles struggling through the deluge. Similar scenes unfolded on Black Horse Pike in Washington Township, where cars navigated standing water.

Drivers like Danielle Presti, caught on Bellevue Avenue, described the storm's sudden intensity and unprecedented flooding. "It just came down so fast," she stated, noting water reaching sidewalk levels before her vehicle stalled.

Justin Goodman of Jackson experienced similar conditions near Tilton Street. "I was driving through and I couldn't see anything," he recounted. His car became submerged up to the door before stalling, forcing him to exit. He expressed hope for his vehicle's repair.
