re: Wife of man who drowned in flooded car on Bluebonnet files lawsuit against LADOTD

I drove past it shortly after it happened. If it was dark (and it was) the dip in the road is so short that it would look like flat roadway when driving toward it. People caught in it would be under water before they knew what hit them. The cars were all jumbled together, some with cars on top of them. It would definitely be possible to be trapped underwater with cars smashed on all sides and above you. So, i wouldn’t call this a Darwin situation. I think it’s sad how litigious our society has become, but i think this case has as good or better a chance as a lot that get paid.
