State Route 58 remains closed after a hillside collapsed onto the highway, stranding about 200 cars in a river of mud. It will take days to clear the east-west artery, authorities said.

Los Angeles and Kern counties got up to six inches of rain during the deluge. There were no reports of injuries.
