Crews Search for Missing Southwest Iowa Man After Car Found Near Washed-Out Road
Investigators say a submerged vehicle was removed and the road may stay closed for a while after historic rainfall damaged the crossing.
- Investigators believe a missing man drove over a collapsed road in Harrison County, Iowa, early Thursday morning after he failed to arrive at work.
- Portsmith Volunteer Fire Chief Michael Leinen said operations began after an alert at 5 a.m. Monday, when personnel discovered the road to Persia, Iowa, about 37 miles northeast of Omaha, had washed out.
- Search crews combing the area near Spring Creek discovered car parts and eventually located the submerged vehicle; Leinen noted the high water could have displaced the car 10 miles from the crash site.
- Although rescuers recovered the vehicle, they still do not know the location of the driver, and the man's family is asking for privacy as search efforts continue.
- Search conditions remain difficult due to saturated ground and muck, with personnel sinking knee-deep in mud, while officials wait to utilize drones to scout the area.
