Body camera footage captured Denton police officers rescuing a woman who was trapped in her car after the vehicle drove off a bridge and crashed upside down in a creek.

Texas police rescued a trapped driver who landed upside down in a creek after her car went off a bridge early Monday.

The crash happened at around 2:30 a.m., and Denton police responded to a call stemming from the incident, WFAA-TV reports. When officers reached the scene, they discovered the car upside down in the creek and partly submerged in the water.

The officers were investigating the scene when the driver began honking her horn to get their attention. In order to free the woman, one of the officers shattered the driver's side rear window, and she was pulled out to safety.

No one else was in the car, and the woman was treated at the scene for her injuries. An investigation into the incident is ongoing.
