Transportation officials closed an eight-mile stretch of the Angeles Crest Highway after a large sinkhole opened up under the pavement. The two-lane highway, also known as State Route 2, will be closed in both directions between Grassy Hollow Visitors Center and State Route 39 while crews repair the damage from the 10-foot-deep hole, Lauren Wonder, a Caltrans spokeswoman, said Friday. That is the same stretch of the winding highway that was closed by gates at both junctures during the winter, Wonder said. The cause of the sinkhole had not been determined, but a leaky drainpipe under the pavement might be responsible, Wonder said. Forty years later, she wants a judge to drop the case against him
