Heavy mudslides and flooding shut down PCH, sweep vehicle and firefighter into ocean
A massive amount of rainwater and mud was unleashed onto Pacific Coast Highway on Thursday, sweeping an L.A. Fire Department vehicle off the iconic coastal route and prompting an indefinite road closure roughly from Santa Monica to the Malibu Pier.
Heavy flooding and mudslides hit PCH
The damage comes as L.A. County endures an atmospheric river storm, bringing torrential rainfall and the possibility for “life-threatening” debris flows to a region weary from last month’s devastating firestorm.
