COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (CBS4) -- Drivers in Colorado Springs got an unexpected warning over the weekend. Someone got into an unlocked message sign and changed it to read "Use caution... Zombies ahead."
It was supposed to state "Dublin closed ahead."

Springs Utilities heard there could be another sign that was changed out there and they're trying to track it down.
