Authorities say the water depth was about three feet, leaving the passenger compartment of the vehicle under water. They broke out a window and a man was found deceased inside.

Officials say evidence at the scene indicates the vehicle had been traveling southbound on County Highway B and continued through the intersection, going over a berm and landing on the front end -- causing the vehicle to flip onto its roof in the water.
