GRANITE FALLS, N.C. — Two men brought a fawn to safety from rising floodwaters Saturday afternoon in North Carolina, viewers told Charlotte's WSOC-TV.
Viewer Ann Miller shot the video of two men in Granite Falls rescuing the fawn from the waters that had risen quickly near the Rhodhiss Dam.
Miller's husband, Chris, said the fawn was taken to nearby wildlife officers.
The rescue came as heavy rains pummeled the state. In nearby Lincolnton, three people died Saturday after a car hydroplaned off the roadway due to rising waters and ended up in Rock Dam Creek.
