Oh my God that's so sad and 100% preventable. I grew up along a creek that floods over the road just past our house about every other year. Despite signs and barriers people always try to get through. I don't know how many people we've told not to pass and they do it anyway. One time a family had two kids in the car and their car was washed off the road downstream into the field.
My biggest fear is being in a car anywhere near floodwaters. Makes me wonder if we need to invest in a nationwide public safety program to get people to stay the fuck out of flooded roads. I hope the family at least is able to recover this boys body. I can't imagine what kind of guilt they're going through.
