UPDATED: Columbia Pike Blocked By High Water Amid Flash Flood Warning - ARLnow

(Updated at 4:50 p.m.) Floodwaters have receded after Columbia Pike was blocked at S. Greenbrier Street around 3:30 this afternoon.

Firefighters successfully rescued the driver of the vehicle that was stuck, according to scanner traffic.

Reports of flooding came as the National Weather Service issued a new Flood Warning for the county. Just before 4 p.m., a Flash Flood Warning was also issued.
