If they weren’t speeding, how did they end up in the creek? Like someone else said, your driving is supposed to match the road conditions. I have traveled this particular road and many other dirt/clay roads and they are all dangerous when wet. Anyone who has been driving on these roads while wet should know better. Just because the speed limit is 70 on the interstate or 25 on the dirt road, it doesn’t mean you have to drive that fast.
wonder if that was a hemI them engines go fast
So now it’s a 2 X 2 or a side door by 4?
Sorry guys, not funny. Scary no matter what happened. Glad everyone is ok.
@ reader ….. Good point. I guess I overlooked the obvious. Just shows I am human after all LOL ……..
“If the passenger side window up in the pictures how in the world did this driver get out?”
Uh…maybe he used the door? That’s what most people do.

I live by this road and it’s awful, especially when it rains. It needs to be paved when not raining it is bumpy and has gullies.
” Well officer, I looked up and and saw this bridge acoming down the road at me, but, I ‘Dodged’ it and it missed me.”
@bystander
Apparently lost on you is the concept of changing your driving habits to match road conditions.
narrow road strikes again.. never the driver, always the road.
That creek back in the day was known as Wilders Creek. Most of the older residents of Molino and surrounding area used it as a area swimming area
and the surrounding Churches used it for baptisting people. In the day it was a much larger creek area and a lot deeper.
Driver….you best get down on your knees and Thank Almighty GOD that you survived this crash.
With the driver side under water you could have easily survived the crash only to drown in this drainage ditch….
Amazing Grace Driver….you were spared for a reason.
Thankful you’re okay.
Smoooooooooottttthhhhhh Moooooooovvvvvvveeeee!
This driver was not speeding. Have you ever drove down cedartown after it has rained? The road is very slick and hard to drive on.
So many people seem to have the “it won’t/can’t happen to me ” attitude when driving the dirt roads and main highways. Glad everyone is safe and remember that it may not be your life that is taken, but a life nonetheless.
You’re NOT the Duke Boys,stop speeding and spinning out on these wet roads. Cars fly up and down Cedartown rd all the time, please slow down we have a lot of kids on the residential side .
Dude, you had to be going really fast to go in the creek, that’s crazy !! Glad everyone is ok!
