A car crashed into a flooded ditch in the 4600 block of Gun Club Road. One person in the car said they thought the ditch was part of the road because of the heavy rain, causing them to wreck.
No one was hurt in the crash.
Car in a flooded ditch. One of the people in the car told me they thought this was part of the road. It was raining and they couldn’t see they were driving into a ditch. Everyone is ok. Just wet and waiting for a tow truck. Stay safe out there. #flooding @WPTV pic.twitter.com/8WObNC94PD
