March 21, 2016 - Recent flooding has caused damage to roadways in different parts of Shelby County and contributed to a crash on Friday, March 18, 2016.
At 8:55pm Tyler West, 21, of Shelbyville was traveling west in a black Ford Mustang on CR 2110 when his vehicle traveled into a creek from which a bridge had been washed out.
During recent flooding, Shelby County Commissioner Precinct 2 had placed signs on either side of the crossing indicating the road was closed; however, the road closed sign on the east side of the bridge had been knocked down previous to West traveling through the area.
Jimmy Lout, Commissioner Precinct 2, reports a large culvert had to be ordered and should be in this week for repairs to be made.
Texas Department of Public Safety State Trooper Jimmy Faulkner investigated the crash scene. No injuries were reported as a result of the crash and no citations were issued at the time of the crash.
