The heavy rain Tuesday night caught a Beck Taxi driver and his passengers off guard when the vehicle conked out in the deep water on Lower Simcoe Street. Firefighters arrived and (upper left) woman passenger wraps arm around welcome rescuer. Water was said to be as much as a metre deep at one point. Upper right, the slosh to dry sidewalk through quite foul-smelling sewer water. Lower left, an interview with CP24. Lower right, now Beck Taxi has to get its water-logged jitney back to Thorncliffe Park. At one point water filled the taxi up to the passengers knees as they sat in the back seat. This is the second time this summer the underpass has flooded.
