Jammu, Oct 12: A woman was swept away in a flash flood triggered by heavy overnight rain in the Raipur Domana area, while her husband narrowly escaped.
The couple had come outside their house after water levels suddenly rose behind their residence but a strong surge of water came from behind and caused their car, bearing registration number JK11 1546, to shake.
But, when he tried to move the vehicle to a safer location, the gushing water engulfed it before he could get inside.
His wife, who followed him to call him back and help him, was caught in the powerful current. Both were swept away, but the man managed to cling to the side and survive.
His wife was carried downstream and remained missing at the time of the report.
