Tragedy compounds as search and rescue teams on assignment in Mendocino sustain major injuries in unrelated crash.
MENDOCINO Co., 4/26/17 — In a brief Facebook updated this afternoon CalTrans District 1 stated that they are “cautiously optimistic” that one way, controlled, traffic might resume on Hwy. 101, this weekend. The area has been cleared as safe to begin work, and workers are clearing the debris. The highway was once again closed when a recurring landslide about six miles north of Leggett, dramatically crashed over the the highway last night. A video of the event has now been shared on Facebook over 600 times, and has been viewed over 600,000 times.
Law enforcement will be checking to make sure that people driving on the road are locals — requesting proof such as ID, a mailed bill with an address, or a work order. Be advised.
The agency had predicted Wednesday, but the slide remains active and they are now unsure of when they will be able to reopen the 101.
A persistent slide has once again closed the road.
