A Los Angeles Sheriff's deputy cruiser had to be towed from rising flood waters Monday morning in South El Monte.
It happened in the Whittier Narrows recreation area near Rosemead Blvd.

The deputy called for backup and four other cruisers responded.
A responding deputy pulled the stranded cruiser back to pavement using a tow rope.
No injuries were reported.
Rosemead Blvd. will be closed to traffic due to the road flooding.
