Marion, KY – Police and state highway officials are investigating after barriers were removed a flooded section of US 60. Transportation spokesman Keith Todd says a gravel berm and barricades at the Crittenden-Union County line were removed Thursday night. Todd says several vehicles crossed through 3 feet of water until police officers were stationed at each end of the road. Officers will continue to guard the area until waters recede. Todd says this incident could lead to a felony "Wanton Endangerment" charge. Anyone with information about the removal of the barriers is asked to contact Crittenden County Central Dispatch at 270-965-3500 or the Kentucky State Police at 1-800-222-5555.
