A shocking moment in Coachella Valley, California, when two young men are rescued from a heavy flash flood on Thursday (March 12).

A heroic middle-aged man went into the raging flood with a wench cable to rescue the two young men.

As the flood began to get worse, the young men had to jump out of their vehicle to meet with the middle-aged man. One by one held on to the man's back as he risked getting submerged into the water.

"It was a truly amazing thing to witness. The fire department got there about ten minutes after they were rescued," the filmer said.
