When highway crews declare a road is closed, there's a good reason. That's what some drivers discovered along State Road 43 (North River Road) this week. The driver went around the barricades and ended up stranded in flood waters. Guadelupe Martinez, of Hammond, had to be rescued. Then, he was arrested on suspicion of drunk driver. Late yesterday, Calvin Woods from West Lafayette, was driving to his job when police say he drove around the sign, tried to stop when he saw the water, but ended up sliding in. Woods was ticketed for disregarding the signs.We will constantly update viewers on the river levels and flooding conditions. This morning I drove by the Granville Bridge. Although there was a little water on the road, highway crews were re-opening it. Be careful out there. There are still many other roads that are closed or have water on them.
