Couple of days ago at vine hill, not looking very stable. We had caltrans crews on the scene and not liking the looks of that and they decided for a safety measure they would do a full highway closure. At granite creek, about a four mile backup through Scotts Valley and southbound you are forced off at summit road and that is the backup were seeing in the videos, the smaller more rural roads are jam packed with 17 eliminated. State route 9 closed. This is due to mud and flooding. That is not an alternate. Between glenn glery and green con and no estimate when that will reopen. Thank you. This involves the same hillside where a construction worker was hit and killed yesterday. 54yearold Robert Bobby Gill was struck by a dump truck while clearing the slide in Scotts Valley for granite rock construction. The los gatos man leaves behind a wife and two children. Another worker, steven meyer was injured and they are tracking down 911 callers to get their accounts. They work to clear the slide is on holding in the investigation is complete. We are seeing an outpouring of support on a crowd funding page set up for the family. Thousands of dollars have come in since yesterday. We have a link set up if you would like to donate, head to abc7news. Com. Well this rain is making for dangerous conditions for drivers across the santa cruz mountains. And now the focus is shifting to lexington reservoir. Matt keller is there live to explain. Matt . Reporter natasha, so much water up here in the santa cruz mountains, lexington reservoir cannot handle it. It is at 104 of capacity and that is why it is spilling into the los gatos creek. The wet weather is causing problems up here. Something beautiful is around every corner in the santa cruz mountains. In fact, we found waterfall after waterfall after waterfall, some runs in creeks and others creating creeks out of roads but with that beauty comes a lot of danger for drivers. Santa cruz county public works reports 56 incidents in the mounts and forcing the closures, including on bear creek. And on glenwood we came across a sinkhole but it pails in comparison to what we saw south of the glenwood cutoff. I am standing at what used to be glenwood drive. Ive never seen such a massive hole in a road before and a lot of people use this road to get to work in the morning. But it will be a long time before this is fixed. And more damage just around the corner. A mudslide created a slipout. And the slipout now covered up with a tarp. The good news, if you get in trouble, often times help is around the corner. The chp not only showed up overnight on block road and the officers got out in the pouring rain and helped take the trailer off and turn it around and reattach it to the truck so the people inside could drive out. All of this while they were standing in a very dangerous area. Um, well, it is a rather steep cliff full of mud and water and probably not too fun to go down there. Reporter well lexington spill and many other reservoirs across Santa Clara County and five of the ten reservoirs are over the capacity with the possibility of more rain coming next week. Live at lexington reservoir, matt keller, abc 7 news. Thank you. Meantime, power is still out to a berkeley neighborhood after a large tree fell on two vehicles and took down pg e lines.

Pg e still cant get in here to get the work on the power lines because the tree is still here. It is taking them that long to move this thing. It was so big. They worked on it all night long. Still have 17 customers without power. Huge impact and a lot of shock in this neighborhood. When a giant tree comes crashing down on your car, turns out it might shock you so much you dont even know what to say. It is owe outrageous. It is so ridiculous. There was not anything we could really i dont know. Reporter this woman and her husband were just cleaning up from dinner last night when it happened. The tree is across the street from their berkeley home. The tv went off and there was a big and i couldnt figure out what was happening. Reporter it didnt just take out their car, their neighbors van was also totaled and he had just received a lot of expensive tlc. We just winterized it and got new tires for it and sent the smog cert off to dmv for renewal yesterday. And hes recovering from hip replacement surgery and not a good time to be down a car. Of all times i need to be around in a car, it is now. So it is pretty funny. It is frustrating but funny. Reporter the death of this tree has people here on parkside drive taking a second look at the tall trees surrounding homes. Wondering which ones need to be inspected or taken out. But overall the neighborhood seems to be keeping this in perspective. It is just a car. You realize it is totally trivial. Reporter we have had people focusing on the good news and that is that no one was hurt. They are hoping to have the power turned back on sometime early this afternoon. Live in berkeley, amy hollyfield, abc 7 news. Thank you. Sonoma county is staying vigilant watching the Russian River which is expected to crest this afternoon.
