Ex-NFL star Terrell Owens freaks out while trapped in Uber during terrifying flood in Indianapolis

Retired NFL star Terrell Owens was left stranded in an Uber as rising floodwater filled the vehicle on an abandoned Indianapolis street over the weekend.

Owens managed to record the ordeal, all while calling Uber support in a panic as the dark water seeped into the car’s cabin and up to its windows.

‘I’m going to have to swim out of this mug in a minute,’ the Hall of Famer is heard saying.

As Owens explained to the Uber operator, his driver attempted to drive along a flooded underpᴀss when the vehicle lost power, stranding both men inside.

‘The driver tried to drive through this water,’ Owens said. ‘We got stuck and we need some help. I’m in Indianapolis. I don’t know where we are. I can’t even see that street.

‘Oh my god, this is crazy. Ah look at this y’all I am in the car stuck. I’m stuck in under this overpᴀss the driver tried to drive through this water and we got stuck. We need some help.’

‘The water is up to the door,’ he told Uber. ‘The battery is ᴅᴇᴀᴅ – like nothing – the car is stopped. We’re literally in the middle of water.’

Owens is heard calling out to some distant pᴀssersby, who didn’t appear to hear his cries for help.

The former San Francisco 49ers star was in town for his alma mater’s NIT championship game with UC Irvine on Thursday. Chattanooga would ultimately win that game to capture the school’s first NIT тιтle.

While Owens was left temporarily stranded on the city’s East side, many on the South side had similar flooding issue last week.

‘I’ve been trapped multiple times,’ Abigail Forrello, a South-side resident, told Fox59.com ‘And we kind of all sit down at the end of the street and watch people going in and out and take pictures and videos and make a guessing game of who’s going to make it through and who’s not going to make it through and warn people don’t go beyond this point.’

Forrello was forced to evacuate her home with her nine-month-old baby.

‘People are either staying somewhere overnight before it gets bad, or they’re parking their cars across the street and walking over, but basically you are trapped until hopefully it goes down either that night or the next day,’ Forrello said. ‘Or in this case a couple days because it’s been a nonstop flood since Thursday.’
