A Victorian driver is missing after his vehicle became submerged in a swollen river in the state's east, following days of heavy rain.
The Nissan Patrol driver - a man in his 60s - and his friend were in separate cars when the missing man tried to cross a river in Thomson about 1.30pm on Monday.
He was crossing the river near Sullivan Track when his car dropped into a deep section of the crossing and was swept away in floodwaters.
His friend tried to rescue him, before calling emergency services.
Police divers will begin searching for the man on Tuesday morning.
The rescue comes after Victoria's east was hit with heavy rain over several days, with flood warnings still in place for dozens of rivers.
Most warnings have been downgraded, however a moderate warning remains in place for the Mitchell River downstream of Glenaladale.
Authorities warn drivers to never enter floodwaters.
