A 33-year-old Indian software engineer died after his car was swept away by flash floods in Kansas, United States. The incident occurred on Tuesday when heavy rains triggered sudden flooding in the area.

The victim, identified as a techie from India, was driving when his vehicle was caught in the rising waters. Rescue teams later recovered his body from the submerged car.

Local authorities reported that the flash floods were caused by intense rainfall that overwhelmed drainage systems. The area experienced rapid water level rises, catching several drivers off guard.

The Indian consulate in the US has been notified and is providing assistance to the victim's family. The deceased's relatives have been informed about the tragedy.

This incident highlights the dangers of flash flooding, which can occur with little warning. Officials urge drivers to avoid crossing flooded roads and to seek higher ground during heavy rains.
