Illinois flash flood nearly swallows Honda after driver tries to power through

Viewers are reacting to a suburban Chicago flood video that shows a Honda creeping into deep water until much of the car is nearly swallowed from view.

Recorded by Jessica Garry (@jesswiththewienerdog), a Bartlett, Illinois, creator amid the storm system that drenched the Chicago suburbs over the July 4th weekend, the post has sparked arguments over whether the driver should have gone onto the flooded street at all.

What happened?

The video carries the caption “Bartlett flood vs honda” and shows a roadway that appears to be filling quickly with floodwater. As a Honda attempts to cross, the person filming says, “I don’t know why they’re letting this car through here.”
