Texas: Incredible footage shows residents of storm-hit Houston, Texas forming a human chain to rescue a man trapped in his SUV.

The elderly man, who was successfully pulled from the sinking vehicle, ended up getting trapped after his SUV was swept away by rising flood waters.

Texas has seen ‘catastrophic’ amounts of rain and subsequent flooding after Tropical Storm Harvey hit over the weekend.
An eyewitness told CNN what happened when flood waters swept away the elderly man’s SUV on Tuesday. 

Maritza Castillo, her husband and and dozens of other drivers who were stuck in traffic on the ‘submerged’ Interstate-10 in Houston rushed to help immediately.
But, they had no ropes. ‘Somebody said, ‘Let’s form a chain,’ Castillo told CNN. And so, that’s exactly what they did. 
Another eyewitness, Stephanie Edward Mata, was on the other side of the flooded road filming the daring rescue. 
‘The people had no rope to get him out so they made a chain holding each other,’ she told Mashable.

Arms linked, they inched slowly towards the vehicle in the fast-flowing water.
‘They pulled the door open and one gentleman got a hold of him as they held on until they got him safe,’ Mata explained. 
According to Castillo, the man was taken to a local hospital.
