Police, fire and rescue personnel responded to Millstone River Road after noon today to aid a motorist trapped in a car in the flooded roadway.

Police Chief Paul Kaminsky said that the driver, a woman in her 50s from North Brunswick, drove her vehicle around the road barricade and was trapped in her car in flood waters.

Emergency services personnel utilized a boat to remove the woman from her car. She was reportedly uninjured and transported to police headquarters to await a ride home, Kaminsky said.

Kaminsky also reminded residents to check cable Channel 29 or 1610 am on the radio for an updated list of road closures.
