BEDFORD COUNTY, Va. – A propane truck ended up stuck in Bedford County after heavy rains washed away the road on Wednesday.
Now, people who live in the area are cut off from their homes except for a small stretch of the road shoulder that’s still standing.
The road at Summit Ridge & Ivy Branch Drive, in the Shady Grove area, completely washed away due to flooding, according to Bedford County Department of Fire & Rescue.
Also, at Summit Ridge & Bentwood, there is risk for washing out as well.
VDOT, as well as fire and rescue crews were on scene and put barricades in place.
VDOT said the road is a private driveway and not on the state roster, therefore they are not responsible for fixing it.
Area residents said there’s about 30 homes that are now cut off.
The people in the area said the original property owner owns the road and they pay an annual fee for upkeep. 10 News spoke with that property owner who said they’re aware of the situation and trying to fix it, but they haven’t made much forward progress.
