SAN DIEGO (KGTV) – Four days later, scores of drivers continue to feel the impact, after flood waters swamped vehicles, sending others drifting down streets.
On Monday, just before the rain began flooding his home in Mountain View, Manuel Pedraza scrambled to move his 2011 MINI Cooper a few blocks away.
When he returned home, he saw two of his other vehicles, a Honda Civic and Odyssey, both older models, were nearly submerged.
“I’m sad because I didn’t think my insurance would cover them,” said Pedraza.
When the water receded, the news was not good.
Pedraza knew what the results was going to be, but he tried to start his vehicles. None of them started.
Pedraza had only liability insurance for all three vehicles.
“It was just too expensive, just too much,” said Pedraza.
He won’t be receiving any insurance money for any of his vehicles.
In Southcrest, there was plenty of driver misery along Beta Street.
After Alex Gonzalez got his mother out of their flooding apartment, he looked for his 2019 Jeep Compass.
