RCMP officer saves stranded senior from flood waters

Even as the City of Swift Current dispatches its crews to address the flooding, Emergency Services are also helping those in need of assistance. 

Seen in front of the Swift Current Branch Library, a City RCMP officer rescued a senior citizen whose mobility scooter had become stranded in the icy flood waters.

A motorist had waited with the man, ensuring the RCMP were able to retrieve him.

The man seems to have tried to navigate the water, only for his scooter to have failed him. 

Residents in the area called for help, with at least one motorist stopping to make sure he was okay. 

After the officer arrived, she confirmed that the scooter was immobile, before assisting the gentlemen into her cruiser. 

He was then taken from the scene, with the officer having inquired about his home address so that she can get him home. There, he would be able to change out of the cold wet socks and shoes.

The scooter remained where it was, with City Crews having posted barricades blocking the road, cautioning away drivers.
