Trucker attempts driving through flash flood

This is in Arizona. Although he managed to extricate himself, there's significant damage to the truck.

Wow brand new cascadia as well.

 

That's why you always bring a life preserver.

 

He was fishing, big ole trout swam into the cab, driver backs out, grills that baby up.

 

On what planet did that remotely seem like a good idea??

 

But my DM said 6 other trucks already made it through.

 

That’s a Typical door slammer ....this guy does it correctly.

 

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.

 

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"

 

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.
