(RUTHERFORD COUNTY, TN)  It doesn't take much water depth to float a car or truck. Officials with the Rutherford County Sheriffs Office know, first hand, about the dangers of motorists attempting to drive through water covered roadways. 

Rutherford County Public Safety Director Chris Clark said, “We have several roads particularly in the Christiana and Rockvale areas that are experiencing large amounts of flooding.”

He concluded, “We are urging motorists to exercise extreme caution when driving in areas with standing water and asking all residents to stay weather aware through the night.”
