It is believed the incident happened in Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia has been hit with severe weather during its winter and autumn period. In late November floods left motorists stranded and schools shut.
Dozens of people were plucked from vehicles engulfed by floodwaters, Saudi civil defence authorities said.
In 2009, devastating floods claimed the lives of 123 people in the Red Sea city of Jeddah.
