Officials confirmed two people died and 10 others were injured Monday night when their cars plunged into a hole, where Highway 26 washed away in George County.<\/p>\n<p>Rescue workers used cranes to pull the cars out of the hole and rushed the victims to the hospital, where at least three are in critical condition. This came after officials said more than eight inches of rain fell in the area as Ida devastated the county.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve had torrential rainfall in the last 24-hours because of Hurricane Ida and this is another reason why we tell people during storms roads could wash out,\u201d stated Mississippi State Trooper Cal Robertson. \u201cYou know, it\u2019s a very dangerous situation.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">TRAFFIC ADVISORY:  SR 26 is CLOSED at Crossroads Road in BOTH directions due to a road washout caused by flash flooding.<\/p>\n<p>MDOT crews along with law enforcement are on scene.
