Three people fell into the water, but survived with only “minor injuries”, when a 150ft portion of the Santa Cruz wharf in Santa Cruz, California, collapsed on Monday and floated away, according to local officials and the National Weather Service (NWS).
The collapse comes as the area is experiencing a major swell that is expected to bring waves as high as 26ft (7.9 metres) to the central coast, along with hurricane-force winds.
