Four men had a lucky escape just seconds before their car was washed away in a flood

This is the moment four men had a lucky escape when they climbed out of their cars - just seconds before the vehicles were swept away by floods.

Rain water from a nearby forested slope raged through the town following more than two hours of heavy downpours, locals said.

The floods slammed two cars into each other, stopping them from using the doors, and a video shows four men clambering out of the vehicle windows.
