Before piling on, to be fair to the driver we don’t know if he knew the depth of the water and once he committed he had to follow through! Unless the road was closed I can see how this mistake could happen when you’re used to fording flooded areas. The flood at this location is exceptional

Impressively green and leaf free lawn, what’s your secret?
