What am idiot... That water is moving WAY to fast to attempt a crossing... Especially with skirts... There probably not much asphalt left under a current like that.
NavigatorWife, mjd4277, bzinger and 3 others Thank this. -
I wish i could see the video but they never load on my phone. But i saw the picture and being from az ive seen,so much ppl try to cross those flash floods. Its why they have "the stupid motorist law"
NavigatorWife, bzinger, Bakerman and 2 others Thank this. -
He makes it about half way across, then it appears as if the front tires drop off the edge of the asphalt... He then backs out an nearly takes out that other truck sitting there... The water messed up his bumper, and probably some more that cant be seen.NavigatorWife, buddyd157, tinytim and 2 others Thank this.
