Pulaski County Coroner Garland Camper says 50-year-old Kenny Raines was found Thursday night in a vehicle in a low-lying area of North Little Rock. Camper says he is waiting for toxicology results before declaring a cause of death, but he said that the death appears to be an accidental drowning.
In northeast Arkansas, the body of a 38-year-old man was found Friday morning after he was swept away from his truck by floodwaters. Independence County Sheriff Keith Bowers says Eric Brashers of Batesville was found at about 7:45 a.m. Friday.

When you have the wettest year in 100 years and roads/houses built in floodplains no amount of engineering is going to solve the drainage issues. This is more a problem with zoning laws allowing structures to be build in floodplains. It doesn't help when people choose to drive their vehicles into deep and swift water.
