A portion of the Santa Cruz wharf in Santa Cruz, California, collapsed on Monday and is floating away, according to 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 to the central coast.
“You are risking your life, and those of the people that would need to try and save you by getting in or too close to the water,” the NWS said.
The end of wharf had been previously damaged by winter storms and was undergoing repairs.
According to KION news, three people fell into the water when the structure collapsed and two had to be rescued after they could not get out of the water on their own.
