Rain triggers 570% surge in Los Angeles County freeway crashes


Over Sunday and Monday, the storm dumped more than two inches of rain in San Luis Obispo County and more than an inch at Brentwood’s Getty Center in Los Angeles County, where a surge in car crashes left freeways intermittently jammed, authorities said. The city had activated two rescue crews the night before, said Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman Erik Scott. Another Los Angeles River rescue occurred in South Gate, where Los Angeles County firefighters rescued a man who tried to walk through the fast-moving water Sunday night, officials said.
