A mother stands outside of a Somerville police cruiser immediately after her two children were pulled from the submerged automobile that they were driving in by police and fire crews.

The automobile became disabled under the Washington St. railroad bridge after it had flooded with three feet of water during Tuesday afternoon's thunder storm.

Police, fire and Dpw crews blocked off Washington St. at the bridge and detoured traffic until the water subsided.

The children escaped without injury.
