Beaver blamed for Texas road washing away in the rain
Published in Weird News
(UPI) Officials in a Texas county said a beaver was to blame for a neighborhood's main access road being washed away in the rain.
Polk County Emergency Management warned residents on social media that a sizable area of Crystal Lakes West, the main access road for the Crystal Lakes subdivision in Livingston, washed away amid heavy rains.
Polk County Precinct 2 said a beaver dam blocked a pipe in a culvert running underneath the roadway, causing a flood that loosened the dirt and washed the road away.
Officials said the road is being repaired with a dump truck filled with dirt and the process is expected to take up to eight hours.
