Authorities Warn About Getting Into Dangerous Clear Creek

WHEAT RIDGE, Colo. (CBS4) – Water is running dangerously high in Clear Creek. It’s so high that on Saturday authorities in Wheat Ridge had to close off the trail at 44th Avenue, but that didn’t stop some people from getting into the water.
The retaining wall under the 44th Avenue bridge is about five feet high, but the water is almost cresting above it. The creek averages 4 to 6 feet in some places.
