California's Highway 1 Collapses Into Pacific Ocean
TL;DR Summary
A section of California's Highway 1 collapsed near Big Sur during a weekend storm, prompting closures and stranding motorists. The highway was closed in both directions as engineers assessed the damage, with periodic convoys being escorted through the northbound lane. Stranded motorists were sheltered at the nearby Big Sur Lodge, and Caltrans urged people to avoid the area due to other closures caused by rocks and debris. The storm brought heavy rain and snow to the region, with potential thunderstorms and damaging winds expected in Southern California.
