Motorists crept along one lane of a scenic stretch of California's iconic Highway 1 after a giant chunk of the highway collapsed into the ocean following heavy weekend rains
Motorists crept along one lane of a scenic stretch of California’s iconic Highway 1 on Monday after a giant chunk of it collapsed into the ocean following heavy weekend rains, stranding as many as 1,600 people in the tiny coastal community of Big Sur. Convoys of vehicles resumed at 8 a.m.
The Big Sur Lodge opened its conference room to offer some trapped motorists a place to stay, while others spent the night in their vehicles. Linda Molinari of Hollister, California, told Fresno's KFSN-TV that she and her boyfriend ended up sleeping in his van after they went to lunch in Big Sur on Saturday. “It was really hard when the firefighters said, ‘Oh, you get to sleep here tonight,’” Molinari told the station on Easter Sunday after they returned home.
