A part of the Santa Cruz pier, in Santa Cruz, in California, collapsed on Monday (23) due to strong waves. Two people were rescued by a lifeguard unit and a third managed to swim to safety.
Images show the end of the pier floating in the ocean.
Authorities say approximately 150 feet of the pier fell into the ocean and continues to pose a serious risk to boats, according to local media. The portion that collapsed was previously damaged and was undergoing restoration due to last year’s heavy storms.
The area of ​​the pier that collapsed included public restrooms and the Dolphin restaurant. Two engineers and a project manager who were inspecting the pier were the ones who reportedly fell into the water, according to local media.
