Mud/Rock Slides

Sound like three between MM 47, 37, and 32, and one by Big Creek that caused an accident, as well as an accident caused by the road near Lucia.

From McFarland:

‘This is around 3pm, just north of Big Creek. Driver hit a rock.

A Tesla, a little further south was waylaid at the passing lane due to hitting a rock.

CHP officer on duty was housing all the occupants, waiting on a tow.

More traffic on the road today than I imagined there would be, given the weather. Several small slides between Lucia and Anderson Canyon, with one slide spewing a couple of dozen 18” boulders across both lanes.

Caltrans was on the job with at least to trucks and a loader, and made quick work of the slide blocking the road.

Happy Christmas’
