What the National Weather Service wrote
In an area already experiencing river flooding, heavy rainfall caused flash flooding near Tabiona. The primary road damage was along State Route 35, where a gulch running under the road was heavily backed up for hundreds of yards, and the pressure from the backup eventually washed out the road. The resultant damage was an area 30 feet deep and 40 feet across where the road was entirely missing.
Around 11:45 pm MDT, two vehicles drove directly into the washed out area. The occupants of the first vehicle suffered one fatality and one injury. The occupant of the other vehicle was injured.
