The driver was not hurt and was not cited. He was able to pull the vehicle out of the ditch with a pickup truck.
Authorities said the driver was wearing a seat belt and that probably prevented him from being injured.
Authorities said there was an estimated 6 inches of high water over the roadway when emergency crews arrived on scene. The water receded from the roadway by the time crews were clearing the scene.
