A section of the Santa Cruz Wharf partially collapsed into the ocean on Monday as heavy surf from a major storm battered California’s central coast. Two engineers and a project manager inspecting the area were rescued by lifeguards, with one swimming to safety.
The storm, expected to bring hurricane-force winds, has prompted warnings for residents to avoid low-lying beach areas.
The collapse occurred during a $4 million renovation project, and the wharf will remain closed indefinitely as authorities assess the damage and structural integrity.
