Bronx River in New York flooded

YONKERS, N.Y. (NBC, KYMA) - In Yonkers, the Bronx River was inundated with hours of rainfall, leaving cars stranded on the parkway.

The Bronx River Parkway underwater Tuesday evening cars lined up trapped by the floodwater with nowhere to go.

The danger was evident beneath the overpass at Palmer Road, with some people ending up on the roof of their vehicles waiting for help.

Eventually, the other cars stuck here were able to exit by turning around and going north on the southbound lane, but residents say they're tired of this kind of flooding.

"You can't walk into the park. There's cars down there trying to turn around," said one resident.
