However, some California drivers ignore the Road signsand in this case, despite very clear signage, at least three different people ignored this warning and their cars were totaled. The California Highway Patrol shared a social media post stating that "Road Closed" signs are not recommendations. The road in question was Kasson Road between Durham Ferry Road and the entrance to the San Joaquin River Club in Tracy, California. In the photo shared in the publication, you can see what looks like a honda crv half sunk under a substantial amount of water.
