North Main Street in Soquel is the only road into the multiple neighborhoods north of the washout.
In an aerial view, workers make emergency repairs to a road that was washed out by heavy rains March 10, 2023, in Soquel, California.Up to 300 residents of a small community in Santa Cruz County were trapped when a large section of the main access road caved in early Friday amid a rain-dumping atmospheric event in California, officials said.
"There is no other road out," said Alex Sandoval, road superintendent for Santa Cruz County Public Works."Everyone who lives above the damage, their only way out is walking through some private property they can walk through." Sandoval said it's"hard to nail down exactly what happened" but the best guess is that logs and debris blocked the culvert on Bates Creek and the water swelled up over the road.
