Expensive mistake: ODOT cameras capture man stranded in high water atop his Maserati
ODOT cameras captured a man who had driven around closed road signs stranded on top of his vehicle Wednesday morning. The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) has captured a man driving around barricades at the Interstate 270 and State Route 23 interchange, causing him to become trapped in high water. The man was rescued without harm, and there is no word on the extent of the damage to his vehicle. Major roads remain closed across central Ohio due to high water, with over two inches of rainfall causing river flood warnings for the Scioto River. The city of Columbus has assembled a flood wall on Interstate 71 near Greenlawn Avenue, which remains in place.
