A thief stole a taxi at knife point in Brookings, Oregon recently, and then tried to escape when a police officer attempted to pull him over in the stolen vehicle. He ignored signs of a road closed due to a landslide, but quickly found out that the signs were no joke as his car collided with the mud, rock and debris from the landslide blocking the road. He was taken into custody without further incident. [Source: KOMO News. Image: komonews.com]

A landslide occured about 9am PT yesterday in a residential neighborhood of La Jolla, just north of San Diego. No injuries have been reported, but estimates are that 2,500 people are without either power or gas because of toppled power lines and ruptured gas lines. The Soledad Mountain Road is currently impassable. I’ll update this post as more information becomes available. In the mean time, check out some video and a location map after the break.
