Deep flooding on part of Rockaway Boulevard in Queens caused problems for some drivers

Heavy rain overnight Friday morning, along with melting snow, caused flooding on some roads in New York City.

Part of Rockaway Boulevard in Queens turned into a pond in the rain.

Police say the driver of a Corvette even got stuck further down Brookville Boulevard.

Other drivers say this problem is not new.

“I’m crossing the water, my engine is shaking and I can’t go anymore. I don’t know what will happen. And I have to go to work in the morning. It’s not good, not good at all,” said driver Haro Singh. “A lot of times when we get heavy rain, it’s a problem.”

Police warned drivers to take extra precautions if they encountered flooded and wet roads on Friday morning.
