Fox Weatherman interrupts TV broadcast to save woman trapped in flooded car

Weatherman Bob Van Dillen probably knew it would be an eventful night for Fox covering Hurricane Helene as the Category 4 storm made landfall, but he couldn't have imagined just how eventful it would be.

Earlier today in Atlanta, Van Dillen hosted a live national standup against the backdrop of a flooded street.

“You can see here that we have this lady who drove into the flooded area and is now screaming,” he said Fox & friends Studio presenters. After describing the scene for a few more seconds with the sound of the woman's voice in the background, Van Dillen told the audience, “I just called 911. The fire department is coming.”

He then turned to comfort the woman and reassure her that help was on the way, before stopping his live recording and telling the studio: “It's a situation. We will contact you shortly. I’ll see if I can help this lady.”
