Highlands Ranch DMV Damaged After Heavy Rains

HIGHLANDS RANCH, Colo. (CBS4) - Heavy rains forced the Department of Motor Vehicles office in Highlands Ranch on Wildcat Reserve Parkway to close on Monday.

The rains soaked carpets and they're looking at the damage to computers and other equipment.

"The rain is coming in through both the windows and from the ceiling. So damage right now is minimal, but as I said, there's so much electronic equipment in there, some of it belongs to the county and actually some to the state," Douglas County Clerk and Recorder Jack Arrowsmith said.

Arrowsmith said he's not sure how long the office will be closed. They were waiting to hear from the company that owns the strip mall where it's located.

Those who need to use the DMV in the area should go to the office at Park Meadows or the one in Castle Rock.
