"Evacuation Urged as Storms Close Scenic Highway 1 Near Big Sur Again"
TL;DR Summary
Following heavy weekend rains, a section of iconic Highway 1 in California collapsed into the ocean, prompting officials to close the road and issue evacuation warnings for parts of the coastal community of Big Sur. The closure led to the shutdown of an elementary school and preschool, with convoy passage for vehicles through the area being repaired canceled due to forecasted rain. The collapse near Rocky Creek Bridge temporarily stranded around 1,600 people, but a single lane was reopened to allow most to leave.
