WELLS, Maine - A police captain waded into floodwaters and carried a person to safety in Wells, Maine Friday morning.

The coastal town's police department shared a photo of Capt. Kevin Chabot with someone in his arms, not far from a car surrounded by water.

It happened on Mile Road, which connects Route 1 to the beach. Earlier, police posted a photo of the road closed because it was flooded out.

"Please avoid the coastal roads right now," police said at 9 a.m.
