"We have made a lot of progress in the last few hours and are getting to people best we can," Caltrans posted on Facebook just before midnight Thursday. "We are actually almost to the largest group of stuck motorists.""
A late-summer monsoon remnant produced heavy rains and unpredictable thunderstorms across the Southland, triggering mudslides and debris flows. Floodwaters washed away a vehicle in Barstow, sweeping a 2-year-old boy, Xavier Padilla, from a car around 6:30 p.m.; relatives and volunteers are searching the area. Portions of Cedar Falls Road at Camp Cedar Falls were buried in a mudslide, trapping drivers who had to wait hours for rescue. Caltrans reported progress reaching stuck motorists late Thursday night. The National Weather Service forecasted up to half an inch of rain regionwide, with some mountain and desert areas receiving up to two inches. Caltrans attributed debris flows to the El Dorado fire burn scar.
