By a staff reporter :

Two people were killed and at least another 10 were injured after parts of a major Mississippi roadway were washed away by heavy rain from Hurricane Ida, officials said Tuesday.

The massive storm wiped out a section of the two-lane Highway 26 in George County, Highway Patrol Cp. Cal Robertson said. When first responders arrived at the stretch of road in Lucedale, a city about 60 miles northeast of Biloxi, they were stunned to see both the east and westbound lanes were gone.
