Monday, September 29, 2014
Local law enforcement officials along with the Greencastle Department of Public Works were busy Monday morning as they worked to cut down a tree that had fallen in the roadway on Washington Street near Greencastle High School.
The tree, located in front of the home of Tim and Kim Shinn at 913 E. Washington St., is said to have rotted out from its base and thus fell into the roadway early this morning.
Washington Street near the high school was shut down for several hours before being reopened at 9:21 a.m. Drivers were asked to use alternate routes and buses were redirected to Percy Julian Drive during the morning school rush.
