Pair of men rescued from floodwaters near Shepparton

Their car quickly became bogged, according to police, and the water level began rapidly rising as they called emergency services for assistance.

Police found the men clinging to the back of their vehicle in the fast-moving water.

Shepparton Search and Rescue volunteers arrived at the scene with their rescue boat and pulled both men to safety.

The NSW men, aged 73 and 46, were both taken to hospital for observation.
