Road closure

With over 2 inches of rain Wednesday with our all-day rain, areas around the Valley are having road and water problems.  When Donna came over Thursday she told me the cross road down the way was closed.  After ear tagging my calf I rode my bicycle down to see why.  The cross road crosses a river, but the bridge should be high enough not to get flooded.  Why was the road closed?

It wasn't due to flooding.  A half mile away from, and above, the river I discovered a cement truck had gone off the road.  The ditch is steep and the truck had tipped.  I don't know if the accident separated the barrel from the cement truck, or if the workers had it detached so they could more easily get the stuff out of the ditch and onto other trucks.
