The closure was expected to last for at least six hours as several feet of pooling water blocked the roadway. At least one vehicle was almost entirely submerged in the flooding.
Emergency crews rushed to the scene of a water main break that caused heavy flooding in Hollywood early Wednesday morning.
The flooding was first reported just after 2:45 a.m. on North Cahuenga Boulevard, after a car traveling through the area was almost completely submerged in the water. Los Angeles Fire Department crews were able to rescue the two occupants of the vehicle, who were said to have been sitting on top of their vehicle for over an hour as the water level continued to rise. Swift Water Rescue teams were also called to the scene to ensure that no other people needed rescue. As a result, California Highway Patrol issued a Sigalert for the Highland Avenue off-ramp for at least six hours, beginning at 3:50 a.m.
Crews from the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power were also dispatched to the scene to locate the source of the flooding and repair the issue. This is a developing story. Check back for details.
