2 driveways in Malibu collapse "due to coastal erosion" from high tides and surf, city officials say
Coastal erosion and high surf caused two beachfront driveways to cave in, and officials said five homes were red-tagged as crews assessed damage.
- A driveway at a beachfront Malibu home collapsed into a 30-foot sinkhole on Tuesday, rupturing a gas main. Los Angeles County Fire Department crews responded to the 31600 block of Sea Level Drive East around 5:45 a.m.
- Coastal erosion from high tides and high surf caused the collapse, city officials say. Tropical Storm Marie hundreds of miles off the California coast brought rainfall and swells that exacerbated conditions early this week.
- The Southern California Gas Company shut off the damaged gas line as firefighters assessed the property's structural integrity. The home was unoccupied and no injuries were reported.
- Following the collapse, city officials red-tagged five homes in the area as of Tuesday morning. Authorities continue to evaluate the situation to determine safety concerns for surrounding properties.
- The National Weather Service maintains high surf and coastal flood advisories through 11 p.m. Tuesday for the Malibu coast. Forecasters warn of dangerous rip currents and potential flooding in vulnerable low-lying areas.
