This is the heroic moment police officers waded through floodwater to take a pregnant woman to the hospital in Vietnam.

Mother-to-be Trinh Thi Kim Lan began experiencing contractions on November 19 in Phu My Village, Dak Lak province, but was unable to reach the health station due to severe flooding.

Her family realised she was in labor and immediately called for help, prompting Hoa Thinh Commune Police to spring into action.

Six officers and soldiers were deployed, armed with inflatable boats, life jackets, rescue ropes, and all the necessary equipment to navigate the rising waters.

Heartwarming footage captures the emergency responders wading through waist-deep floodwaters, securing Trinh - already seated in her pink raincoat - onboard the lifeboat as the rain poured down.

After a tense journey through the floods, she was safely delivered to the Commune Health Station.

Local media reported that both mother and baby were in stable condition, bringing relief after the dramatic rescue.

Torrential rain triggered widespread flooding across the Central Highlands, with the military already delivering emergency supplies to the hardest-hit areas.

In Central Vietnam, the freak weather has claimed 16 lives and left five people missing.
