Multiple cars stuck in mudslide in California: officials

California fire officials said Monday there was a mudslide in Los Angeles County and that multiple vehicles were stuck in the mud and debris flow. Stranded drivers had to be rescued.

A mudslide in California resulted in multiple vehicles becoming stuck in mud and debris flow, fire officials said.

Fire units responded to the mudflow to assist around 50 people in two dozen cars. The mud had reportedly pushed vehicles across the road.

The landslide happened near Pine Canyon Road between Shaffer Road and Blaisdell Road, the Los Angeles County Fire Department wrote in the tweet.

According to the department, units arrived at the scene at around 7:40 p.m. to help free the vehicles unable to escape the mud and debris flow.
