Authorities are urging people to avoid flooded areas, follow all road closures, and never drive around barricades, stressing that fast-moving water can be deceptive and dangerous.

The collapse comes as parts of the Hill Country continue to deal with another round of dangerous flooding—just over a year after the catastrophic July 4, 2025 floods.
