BATON ROUGE — Water levels across the capital region are rising and roads are flooding after a deluge of rain Thursday morning.

In West Baton Rouge Parish, streets have begun to flood and high water signs have been placed out to encourage people to stay off the roads. Several roadways are not visible as a result of the high water. 

"WBRSO is currently responding to multiple vehicle crashes across the parish. Please slow down and drive with caution!" deputies said on Facebook.
