SILVERADO CANYON—Overnight rains saturated hillsides in Silverado Canyon March 10, prompting a mudslide that trapped some vehicles and led authorities to issue a mandatory evacuation order for the area.

No injuries were immediately reported from the slide, which occurred around 7 a.m., sending thick mud cascading onto Silverado Canyon Road between roughly Ladd Canyon Road and Olive Drive.
