Heavy rain, flooding force road closures in Seymour

SEYMOUR — Heavy rain and flooding early Friday evening have caused forced closures on local roads and Route 8, police said.
Drivers should avoid Route 67 as parts of it are flooded and closed and a tree also fell onto the road near McDonald’s. Route 8 is also backed up around exit 22, police said.
Derby Avenue, which runs parallel to Route 8, is not yet closed, but an officer has been sent to check it out and possibly close it to drivers, according to authorities.
