LIBERTY TWP. -- A driver was caught off guard in Wexford County after rain caused a creek to overflow, washing out the road.

Officials say the driver of the truck was not hurt.

Fourteen Road is washed out between 35 and 37 Roads in Liberty Township. 

Road crews blocked off the area Wednesday afternoon.  The road is not expected to be repaired until Monday.

Another area nearby is also causing concern.  Water is across another portion of 14 Road at 41 1/2 Road toward Manton. While it is flooded, the road is not washed out at this area but road crews are keeping a close eye on the situation.

7 & 4 Storm Team Chief Meteorologist, Mark Watkins, says there is a chance of rain showers through Thursday evening.
