Unusually active rattlesnake season claims third California death

A 78-year-old woman in Mendocino County’s Redwood Valley died after being bitten three times by a rattlesnake while walking on rural property. Her death marks the third fatality in California during this unusually active snake season, driven by unseasonable warmth and rain that brings snakes out of burrows as more residents head outdoors. While bites are common, fatalities are rare; stay on designated trails, give snakes space, and call 911 and the California Poison Control System if bitten.

Landslide Blocks Coastline Highway 1 Near Elk; Reopening Time Uncertain

A major landslide completely blocks Highway 1 south of Elk, closing both lanes with no estimated reopening time. Debris and a downed tree cover the roadway near post mile 31, and a Pepsi semi was stuck in the Elk Bridge switchbacks due to the closure. The Garcia River Bridge closure (PM 17–18.5) from last night remains in effect. Motorists should use alternate routes and check Caltrans QuickMap or social updates for real-time conditions.
