Intensive rain, which appeared a few days ago in the south of California, contributed to the descent of a mud avalanche around the city of San Jacinto on Thursday. The masses of the land fell on several cars in which there were people.
Six people traveled on Thursday along the city around the city of San Jacinto in southern California, when a mudslide came on them. Heavy rain is considered to be the cause of the disaster. The victims needed help from rescuers.
– It was raining, it was storm And something began to rumble. The slope of the hill began to slide. It was almost like the earth minitza – reported a resident of Fabian Mendez.
Mud to the glass
The request for help came around 6 am. All vehicles were almost completely covered with mud.
– When we got there, some people were in their vehicles, and some were on them […]. Mud reached the shaft of some cars – said Captain John Clingingsmith Jr., who took part in a rescue operation. – It was dark, heavy rain was falling, and they were traveling along the road where there were no standing puddles, no flooding, nothing. They just found themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time – he added.
Not the first such situation
Firefighters pulled out the victims, who then survived the tested by medical staff. They were in good condition, so they were allowed to immediately return to planned activities, although without vehicles. The road service entered the place and the removal of mud from the road began.
The inhabitants of the area said that this is not the first time when a landslide occurs in this area. However, they hope that finally someone will be interested in helping them prevent similar events.
– It often happens now, the cars got stuck, we worried a bit […]. It is a bit slippery, and there are landslides. It's just a bit suspicious – said Kevin Hands, who lives near the unlucky place.
It is not known how long the route will be cleared.
