“Definitely people need to stop driving in flooded roadways. If you’re outside, stop at the edge, look at it, and go away. Do not drive through the water at all for any reason,” said Cameron Haller, Tipp City Fire Chief.
Andy Shahan, Montgomery County Engineer, told News Center 7 that it’s more important than ever to put distractions down while driving. That means your cell phone and maybe turning your radio down while navigating these roads.
We will update this story.
