Trapped WA truckies rescued by jet ski

Two truck drivers have been rescued by a jet skiing hero after their rigs were trapped in rising waters in the Western Australian Pilbara.

Three trucks were carrying manganese from a mine east of Marble Bar when their drivers tried to cross the rain-swollen Nullagine River about 4am on Saturday.

A police spokesman said one of the drivers managed to swim to the river bank, but the other two were stranded in their trucks, with one truck at risk of being washed away.
