CLARK COUNTY, WI (WTAQ) - The emergency management director in Clark County says there had been no sign of fatigue or deterioration of that county road which washed out last week.

A 50-foot wide section of the road collapsed in a flash flood Wednesday night on County Road M. Two vehicles plunged 12 to 15 feet into the ditch and became partially submerged, leaving three people dead.

County officials say the culvert underneath the road had showed no signs of erosion last week when a mowing crew was working in the area.

It’s expected to take about a month to fix the road.
