Authorities said East Bay Regional Park District police and firefighters, Alameda County firefighters and other agencies were notified just after 10 a.m. Tuesday that a vehicle was stranded in a creek off of the 7000 block of Del Valle Road in Livermore.
Authorities frequently remind drivers using the phrase, 'Turn Around, Don't Drown' not to drive into flowing streams during flooding events.
Ground units prepared for a water rescue but before they got into place, the weather cooperated, allowing a California Highway Patrol helicopter to hoist the woman off the car to safety, authorities said.
