Event narrative (NOAA)

A 23 year-old-male ignored high water signs and barricades and attempted to drive through standing water of 8 to 10 feet at the intersection of Ashbury Road and Shanee Terrace. The vehicle was submerged under water, and he drowned. Scuba divers had to retrieve the body from the vehicle.
