Massive California Hill Collapse Destroys Road, Prompts Evacuations

A major hillside collapse in La Jolla, Calif., caused massive damage to the overlying four-lane road and forced evacuations in a residential neighborhood Wednesday, as San Diego city officials scrambled to determine the extent of the damage.

One home was destroyed and at least eight others were in danger as the collapse buckled and folded a 50-yard span of asphalt, leaving deep trenches in the road. Rescue crews were evacuating residents and power and gas lines had been shut off in the area. No injuries were reported.
