Mudslides trap drivers, bury roads and damage homes in Southern California
OAK GLEN, Calif. (AP) — Mudslides and debris flows knocked down trees, plowed into homes and trapped drivers for 10 hours after several Southern California communities were hit by heavy rain, authorities said.
Authorities rescued 10 people traveling in at least six vehicles who were stranded on state Route 38 in the area of Jenks Lake, near the San Bernardino National Forest, the fire district said. The route is narrow and winding through towering trees, and curves back and forth up the mountainside, linking cities east of Los Angeles with the resort town of Big Bear Lake.
