Escambia County, which is located in the Florida Panhandle near the Alabama-Florida state line, was hit with several strong to severe storms earlier this week.

According to the video, the deputy reported several stranded motorists stuck in floodwaters along the freeway. The video shows one vehicle with its hazard lights surrounded by water.

The deputy later said he instructed the man to walk towards him, and he suddenly went beneath the water.

The deputy's body-worn camera shows what happens next: he walks into the water to look after the missing man and is pulled beneath the water himself. For nearly 30 seconds, the camera goes nearly black with only the sounds of muffled water – until he emerges on the other side.

The two quickly find each other, catch their breaths, and go over the shock – and presumed amazement – over what happened.
