Rock slide in Marin County

There is a rock slice on US 101 southbound at Rodeo Avenue in Marin County.

Large rocks came tumbling down on US Highway 101 Monday morning, making the southbound lanes impassable through Marin City.

The California Highway Patrol reported the rock slide about 5 a.m. at Rodeo Avenue.

At that hour, several cars called the CHP to report not being able to drive through the rocks; one car sustained major damage. Other drivers reported flat tires. 

Fire crews were initially unable to move the rocks since they were so heavy, the CHP log showed.

But by 7 a.m., crews had removed the rocks and traffic was able to pass through.
