Smith was on air when she spotted a truck surrounded by water. The driver, whose name was reported as Robert, was stranded inside as water seeped into his vehicle.

Smith noticed a rescue team driving by, flagged them down and brought them to the stranded driver, all the while reporting on events as they transpired. At one point she stopped to clean the lens of her photographer's camera.
As the rescue team took their boat towards the trapped driver and hauled him to safety, Smith became emotional.
“Incredible kudos to these two sheriff’s deputies who are risking their lives in this deep water. I’m sure he’s very wet, very cold, very frightened." she said.
“I finally feel like I can breathe," she continued.

“I just thank God that you guys were right here to get me and put me back on land safely,” Robert said in a short interview, minutes after the rescue.
The interview ended with Smith embracing the man. “This is going to sound weird but can I hug you? I so glad you're ok,” she said.
