Angeles Crest Highway partially collapses after holiday storm; ongoing road closure spans 3 miles

MT. WATERMAN, Calif. (KABC) -- A section of the Angeles Crest Highway collapsed near the Mt. Waterman ski lifts after a holiday storm, and an ongoing roadway closure spanning several miles remained in effect Tuesday.

Aerial video from AIR7 showed the dramatic buckling of asphalt on snow-covered State Route 2 in the aftermath of a landslide in the Angeles National Forest. The highway was shut down in both directions from Cedar Springs, 3.3 miles east of Newcomb's Ranch, to State Route 138.

Caltrans crews were seen arriving in the area as the agency announced the storm "caused significant damage to the roadbed in at least four locations." Damage assessments were ongoing.

No crashes or injuries were reported.

It was unclear how long it would take to repair the roadway before it could be reopened to traffic.
