Part of U.S. Highway 1 collapses after heavy rain

One of the northbound lanes of U.S. 1 was still closed Friday night after heavy rain washed out part of the road.

MELBOURNE, Fla. - Crews from the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) worked into the evening, bringing in heavy machinery to fill some of it in.

Employees at a car dealership across the street said they watched the road flood into their driveway.

"That’s actually really alarming," said Clayton Jepsen after seeing images taken by SKYFOX.

"The street which normally drains around the curb probably came up a good four feet up into the incline driveway, so you could tell it was really bad," said Max Hitchcock, another salesman.

Melbourne saw more than four inches of rain Friday morning.
