Rescuers responded to the area just before 8 p.m., the agency said in a tweet. A total of 24 vehicles were stuck on the road with 53 people accounted for, according to a preliminary storm report from the National Weather Service. Earlier, maintenance crews responded to reports of a mudslide that closed all lanes on Lake Hughes Road, Los Angeles County Public Works tweeted. Aerial video from CNN affiliate KCAL/KCBS showed thick mud covering a road, where several vehicles appeared to be trapped. The mudslide came as the region experienced scattered rainfall from post-tropical cyclone Kay as it moved away from the region. Extended rain and thunderstorms were expected though Monday, with flooding possible in the mountains overnight, according to the National Weather Service. A flash flood warning was in effect for northwest Los Angeles and Ventura counties until 10:45 p.m. Sunday, with the weather service warning of flash flooding in small creeks and streams, urban areas and highways, as well as other low altitude areas.
