Soulja Boy Caught In A California Mudslide That Nearly Swept His Car Into The Ocean

A potent winter storm that hammered the West Coast over the weekend triggered mudslides in Southern California in areas scorched by wildfires, trapping drivers and shutting down a major thoroughfare.  

Crews towed away cars and worked to clear lanes of mud and debris along the Pacific Coast Highway that had been closed in both directions Saturday night. A portion of the road in Malibu will not reopen until at least Monday, the California Department of Transportation said. 

Motorists became trapped in their cars when torrents of mud cascaded down hillsides along the scenic highway. A few vehicles became stuck in mud up to 4 feet deep, the Los Angeles Times reported.

Soulja Boy, 28, revealed that he survived an accident in the midst of the mudslides. “My car got stuck …. almost went into the ocean,” tweeted Soulja with an image of the incident.

“Some drivers actually stopped by our fire station and rang our doorbell to tell us there was flooding and people were trapped,” Ventura County Fire Capt. Dennis O’Shea told the Times. “Those folks just happened to be in the worst part of it, and they just got stuck.”

The mud and debris flow  were about the size of two football fields, according to the National Weather Service.

Soulja Boy post on Instagram the caption “I’m just thankful to be alive, I don’t care about the car it’s materialistic you can’t take it with you when you’re gone ??”

The mudslides hit in an area ravaged by wildfires in the fall. The Woolsey and Hill fires in Los Angeles and Ventura counties in Southern California burned 97,000 acres in November, destroyed more than 1,600 structures, killed three people and forced about 250,000 people to flee.
