The Santa Cruz Municipal Wharf collapsed during high surf, sending three construction workers into the ocean. Quick action by the lifeguards led to rescues without serious injuries.
Authorities confirmed all three construction workers were rescued from the water with no significant injuries reported, and the area has been closed as a precaution due to dangerous conditions.
The wharf, built in 1914 and known for being the longest fully wooden wharf in the Western Hemisphere, experienced a structural collapse that will prompt extended closures.
Dangerous ocean conditions post-collapse mean that all coastal areas, including beaches and overlooks, should be avoided immediately as high surf may create life-threatening scenarios.
