This is far from getting splashed by a passing car.

Yes, you're right. The diameter of the wheel on the car in that thread is also 18" -- and that's probably in the area where the semi is wading through behind the M235.
Who knows for certain what happened in either case. The point is, you don't have to have the nose of your car submerged to tempt hydrolock. My personal rule of thumb is if I can't see the center of the wheels on the cars ahead of me, I don't go in. You just don't have any idea how deep the water is beyond that.
