SoCal storm: Rockslide strikes cars in Malibu
Large rocks tumbled off a hillside in Malibu and damaged at least two cars along Malibu Canyon Road.

MALIBU, Calif. (KABC) -- Two cars were damaged by a rockslide in Malibu on Thursday as a strong storm dumped rain across the Southland.

The incident occurred on Malibu Canyon Road around 7:30 a.m.

A large rock came tumbling down the hillside and smashed into the windshield of a white Ford Focus. The rock did not go through the windshield but badly damaged the glass. Those inside the vehicle, who were headed to a wedding, were not injured.

A rock also struck another vehicle along Malibu Canyon. This time, the rock struck the car in the front right side, causing a flat tire and damage to the bumper.

A California Highway Patrol officer cautioned motorists driving through the area to be cautious of debris on the road.
