BENTON COUNTY, Tenn. (WKRN) — Highway 70 has been shut down due to a deadly crash, according to a social media post from the Benton County Sheriff's Office Monday evening.
The Benton County Sheriff's Office said that the road would be shut down for at least a few hours, if not until morning, due to "a fatality wreck" near Big Daddys.
An hour later, the Benton County Sheriff's Office added that a water main broke during the course of the crash on Highway 70 E.
"Due to the loss of water, it is asked to conserve as much water as possible, by using only that water that is essential," a Facebook post from the sheriff's office reads, in part.
Benton County Schools will be closed on Tuesday, Nov. 26 due to damage on the main water line servicing the city of Camden, officials said.
