"Highway 1 Collapse: Stranding 1,600 After California Storm"

Heavy rain caused a section of California's scenic Highway 1 to collapse, trapping about 1,600 visitors and residents in Big Sur. Caltrans crews are working to repair the road, and convoys have been organized to escort stranded motorists through the damaged area. Engineers will continue to monitor the roadway for the next several days, and there is no estimated time for reopening the roadway. All state parks in the area have been closed, and camping reservations have been canceled.
