Sinkhole Opens in Middle of California Highway
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Highway 1 in California was partially closed on Sunday after a sinkhole opened up, according to local transportation officials. Newsweek contacted California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) for additional information via email, outside of standard working hours on Monday. Why It Matters Officials warned that the Monday morning commute would be affected as crews worked to repair the road damage caused by the sinkhole. A sinkhole is an area of ground with no natural external surface drainage. Their size can range from just a few feet to several hundred acres, and depths may span less than a foot to over 100 feet. Most sinkholes develop gradually, making changes hard to notice, but they can also appear suddenly due to a collapse, according to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). What To Know According to Caltrans, the sinkhole formed on southbound Highway 1 on Sunday near Buena Vista Drive. The highway's far-left lane was closed following the incident, California Highway Patrol (CHP) said on Sunday, adding that drivers should expect delays in the area and that there was no estimated time for reopening. Southbound traffic was limited to a single lane roughly half a mile north of Watsonville, according to the Santa Cruz Sentinel. In an update, CHP said the road's left lane would stay shut down through Sunday night. Images posted to social media by Caltrans District 5, which serves Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, Monterey, San Benito, and Santa Cruz counties, showed crews working to repair damage caused to the road by the sinkhole.

Caltrans What People Are Saying California Highway Patrol wrote on X, formerly Twitter, on Sunday: "A sinkhole has formed on SB SR-1 southbound near Buena Vista Drive. The far left lane is closed. Expect delays in the area, with no estimated time for reopening." Caltrans District 5 wrote on X on Sunday: "Ongoing closure of the #1 (left) lane of southbound Hwy. 1 at Buena Vista Dr. near Freedom to remain in effect during morning commute hours on Monday, June 2. Please allow extra travel time thru the corridor. Crews continue with repairs to a sinkhole which formed on Sunday 6/1." It also said: "Travelers on Southbound Hwy. 1 in Santa Cruz County near Freedom will encounter a closure of the #1 (left) lane at Buena Vista Dr. for emergency road repairs. No estimate for reopening. Please be alert for crews and emergency responders." What Happens Next? Caltrans said the closure would remain in effect through morning commute hours on Monday. Travelers were advised to allow extra time to travel through the corridor.

Keep This Rechargeable Jump Starter In Your Car
While no one necessarily expects their car battery to tap out on them, it's always a possibility. And when it's disgustingly hot or freezing cold outside, the last thing you want is to be stranded with a vehicle that won't start. If you don't have a service like AAA on standby, or don't feel like waiting for an unknown amount of time for someone to come rescue you, having a handheld gadget that can get the job done is a lifesaver. The rechargeable Halo portable car jump starter is perfect to have in your car at all times. Not only can it revive a full-sized car or SUV with the included mini jumper cables, but it also has a bright built-in floodlight in case you're stuck at night on a dark road, plus additional USB ports to charge your other Halo comes in multiple colors, including rose gold, navy blue, mint green, black, camo, silver, and gold marble. You don't have to worry about finding much space for it in your car either, as it's only 6 inches long and 3 inches wide — ideal for your center console or glove compartment!Whether you travel a lot for work, have a couple of road trips planned, or just want some peace of mind while driving, this compact device is a must-have for any if you need a little more convincing before adding it to your cart, check out these glowing Amazon reviews. Promising reviews: 'This is amazing! I never heard of it before, but my dad has one. My car was totally dead. It had been sitting for three months, and it started right up after using the Halo. I bought myself one and had to use it twice already. It's good for three car charges before you have to recharge the Halo. I never jumped a car before, and I was able to figure this out all by myself.' —kim philanthropichr'I bought this to keep in my Corolla while traveling alone. I didn't want to have to rely on strangers if I needed a jump, or to be stranded hours from home. I charged it and left it in the car. Even in cold temps, it has held its charge over the past couple of months. I tried it for the first time today and was pleasantly surprised at how powerful it is. I was able to quickly and easily jump my husband's work truck — a newer F250 truck with a 6.2 engine. Definitely worth the money. I'm impressed and will probably buy another for hubby as well!' —Jen'This has come in handy so many times that I bought one for everyone in the house. Almost right after getting it, my daughter used it at school because her friend's car needed a jump start. It is so worth the money. We have AAA, but why wait?!?!?!?! I'll let them tow and fix a flat. I would recommend the Halo to anyone, and I have.' —Madeezdaddee Get it from Amazon for $78.71+ (available in two colors).
