SOTM – Highway 99 Disaster Claims Lives as Search Ends for Missing Victim!
Emergency calls began flooding in almost immediately. First responders, including police, firefighters, and search-and-rescue teams, rushed to the scene despite treacherous conditions. What they encountered was a landscape of chaos: twisted metal, partially buried vehicles, unstable ground, and the constant threat of additional slides. Every step carried risk, yet crews pressed on, knowing lives were at stake.
Over the following days, recovery teams worked methodically and carefully. One by one, the remains of four victims were recovered—three men and one woman. Each discovery brought heartbreak to families and responders alike. The work was slow and painstaking, complicated by rain, loose soil, and the ever-present danger that more debris could come crashing down at any moment.
