Phoenix fire crews conduct water rescue for truck in canal

PHOENIX - Phoenix firefighters rescued a man in a truck after he crashed into a canal near 39th Avenue and Lower Buckeye Road Friday morning.

The driver was not hurt.

A tow truck has been called to remove the vehicle from the water.

Firefighters say it was a swift water rescue, making it good practice for the monsoon season - officials say it only takes three inches of water for vehicles to hydroplane and lose control.
