Two men have been rescued from the roof of their car after it got caught in rising water.
Fire crews from Maghera and Magherafelt got to the scene on the Mullnavoo Road, Draperstown at 5pm yesterday.
The water levels were higher than expected as they tried to cross a ford, and the vehicle was swept for around 20 metres.
The Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service is reminding people of the dangers of crossing bodies of water.
