Its the largest hillside this winter. Thats about 100 dump truckloads somebody decided to dump over the hill all at once. Caltrans plans to bring in a specialized excavator tomorrow to safely access the slide and remove debris from the top down. We are dealing with the fact it is still raining, the slide, the terrain, the traffic. Reporter at 10 00 in the morning the mud slide shut down highway 17 in both directions. Half of the Mountain Side came crashing down filling up the northbound lanes and spilling into the so
