State DOT Sued Over I-88 Metal Culvert Failure
At approximately 6:20 a.m. on June 28, it was discovered, and reported to police that a 30-foot diameter metal culvert on Carrs Creek had failed, causing a 150 foot length of I-88 to be washed out. The collapsed highway claimed the lives of two truck drivers, one east bound and one west bound, when their trucks plunged into the 50 foot deep hole that had been created across all four lanes of I-88.
