Fillmore County Sheriffs Office is advising all drivers to use extra caution. It has been brought to our attention, that someone has been placing bags with large bricks on our county roads. Please call the Sheriffs Office if you come across one of these bags. We would be happy to remove it from the road.According to this news article, several people had filed reports yesterday of encountering feed sacks filled with cinder blocks that had been left on rural roads. The intent was to give the appearance of debris that was safe enough to drive over, which would then cause damage to the vehicle as it passed over the blocks.
Frankly, I surprised that I haven't read any reports of serious damage or accidents.
Incidentally, the Thayer County Sheriff's Office also reported incidents yesterday of cinder blocks hidden in feed sacks on the roads.
