Toronto floods: Reporter helps stranded motorists after road gets washed out

Major flooding has been reported in the Toronto area and tens of thousands of people are without power after an intense storm passed through portions of southern Ontario Tuesday.

Flooding on the Don Valley Parkway in Toronto saw some vehicles submerged in the water, which prompted a closure of the southbound lanes of the highway from Bayview Avenue to the Gardiner Expressway.

Global News reporter Sean O’Shea helped a pair of stranded motorists out of their vehicle which got partially submerged on the Bayview Avenue.

Not the first time the DVP has flooded. So when is the city going to do something about this? Is someone going to have to drown before anyone takes action?

I sense a lot of people in the comments don't understand how flash floods work. Nobody intends to go into a flooded street...

[flyaphs]

meeting friends for lunch, that lady didn't have to be on the road unless you have to go to work or medical emergency

[zerospace]

So does anybody else think the money towards renaming Dundas street might be better served trying to mitigate flooding issues like this?

Wonder how the self-driving Tesla's work during these times LOL

Toronto is a joke.

Once you leave Toronto and see how much better every other similar sized city in the world is, you will never look at Toronto the same way again. Sad.
