Laurel, IN – Six Laurel residents have been identified that were killed when a bridge washed away Friday morning. Forty-seven-year-old Shawn Roberts and Forty-eight-year-old Burton Spurlock were the occupants of the first vehicle. Thirty-five-year-old Felina Lewis and three juveniles, ages thirteen, seven, and four were in the second vehicle. Indiana Conservation Officer Jet Quillen said, “With the amount of waterfall we’ve had lately, the rainfall, it obviously caused it to be a flood stage and from what we can gather, washed a bridge away.” This accident remains under investigation.
