The Polk County Fire Rescue and the Polk County Sheriff’s Office is currently investigating a very serious accident on Hwy 540 in Eagle Lake. The cross intersection is reported as Cooley Rd. This is a very bad crash involving multiple injuries. At this point in time we believe pediatric patients are involved and an adult trauma alert.

At this point in time we can report that the roadway is completely blocked. We are assuming that traffic will be back up in that area for an extended period of time.
