A few hours of heavy rain around midday Friday flooded the usual trouble spots on and near Brigham Road. At the viaduct near the road’s intersection with Fourth Street in the city of Dunkirk, a stranded vehicle had to wait its turn to get pulled out of the water. That’s because the wrecker was on Waldorff Road pulling someone else out. There were no injuries reported. Police closed off both of the areas until the water cleared.
