One person was killed Thursday morning in Spartanburg, South Carolina, after several cars were submerged in floodwaters underneath a bridge.
Coroner Rusty Clevenger confirmed the death of 56-year-old Sylvia Arteaga of Spartanburg, who died when she was driving beneath an overpass outside the city limits and the inside of her car flooded "to capacity," reports AP. Several cars were submerged by flash floods.
"Locally heavy rain in the Spartanburg, South Carolina area late Wednesday and into early Thursday prompted reports of flash flooding," said weather.com meteorologist Linda Lam.
"Rain has fallen in this area every day since last Thursday and more rain is expected through Monday. Extremely heavy rainfall is possible this weekend with more than six inches of additional rain expected, leading to a potentially dangerous situation."
