California wharf collapses during storm prompting two rescues
Two engineers and a project manager were forced into the ocean when a section of the Santa Cruz Wharf under renovation partially collapsed amid heavy surf from a Pacific storm. The end of the pier dropped about 150 feet into the water, with the structure evacuated and closed indefinitely. No serious injuries reported. officials monitor remaining pilings as forecasters warn of continuing hazardous swells and hurricane-force winds offshore.
