JACKSON COUNTY, Ind. – Deputies with the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office (JCSO) were busy Tuesday rescuing at least two drivers who had ventured into high water.
Just after dawn, an SUV thought it was a good idea to drive around barricades and across high water on State Road 250. His vehicle went off the roadway and JCSO says he was lucky he did not flip all the way over. The driver was issued a citation. The Brownstown Volunteer Fire Department’s boat brought the man to high ground.
A DNR conservation officer’s airboat helped deputies rescue a driver on Tuesday afternoon, south of Cortland. The man’s truck window had to be broken to get him out.
