I am certain there are literally still hundreds if not thousands of missing people who went into water with their vehicles.
Slick road ,sharp curves, darkness, excess speed and it is hopeless within seconds.
Thousands of water traps await quietly alongside as many miles of road. Once submerged not easily seen from nearby ground.

When we moved to AK in 1971 we drove the Alcan Hwy. Truly terrifying my back then. 1400 miles of gravel then, except for 7 paved miles at Whitehorse.

There are lakes literally hugging the road. According to the Milepost magazine, they’re so deep they don’t even know how deep they are. No guardrails. Switchbacks. Mountains. Trucks going the opposite direction on the very narrow road.

I’d hate to think how many people have gone missing, especially in the winter with the road covered with ice.

I’ve read that Florida canals are rough for that.
