A police officer is being recognized for her heroic actions during a recent flash flood in North Texas. The officer, Brittney Taylor, helped rescue people stranded by rising water.

The incident occurred near a hospital campus, where multiple drivers became stranded as flash flood waters overwhelmed vehicles. Officer Taylor, who works for Baylor University Medical Center Police, assisted in rescuing six people from the flood waters.

Further details about the rescue are available from NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth, which reported on the officer's actions during the flash flood last Friday.
