HENDERSON, MINN — Heavy rains are blamed for road closures and a mudslide in parts of south-central Minnesota.
MnDOT says flooding likely caused a mudslide on Highway 68 south of Courtland, near New Ulm, which closed the road for about six hours Sunday. A MnDOT spokesman says a couple of vehicles were damaged in the mudslide, but no injuries were reported.
Several other highways were closed Sunday because of high water on the Minnesota and Rush Rivers.
Flooding was also reported in Comfrey. Crews plan to re-open these roads when the waters recede. Some areas of southern Minnesota had more than five inches of rain over the weekend.
