Event narrative (NOAA)
A man attempted to cross a bridge over the swollen Wabash River and was swept to his death. It was after dark, and water was over the road approaching the bridge. It is believed that the man crawled through the car window in an attempt to get to safety and was swept away by the strong current. The search was called off on 12 January to wait until the waters receded, due to the hazardous nature of the search.
