This is the dramatic moment a taxi was washed away by floodwater as a river burst its banks in the Philippines.

Footage captured by Leslie Rejas shows the vehicle floating in the muddy torrents before being dragged downstream in Cagayan de Oro, Northern Mindanao, on Friday afternoon, August 22.

Local media reported that the driver left the cab while looking for a passenger, but was caught off guard by the sudden rise in water levels.

The vehicle was found in the next village on Saturday, with shattered windows and severe damage.

The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said the southwest monsoon caused heavy rainfall in the area and across Mindanao island.
