LOS ANGELES (KABC) —
A mudslide closed off a portion of Pacific Coast Highway between Ventura and Los Angeles counties Monday.
Authorities said PCH was shut down from Las Posas Road in Camarillo to Trancas Canyon Road in Malibu shortly before noon. That closure was later expanded to cover Broad Beach to Las Posas due to significant mud flow.
