LOS ANGELES (AP) – The latest on a storm in Southern California that has caused flooding (all times local):

6 p.m.

Several hundred vehicles are stranded on a stretch of one of California’s main freeways after flash flooding north of Los Angeles sent water and mud flowing into canyons and across roadways.

Lt. Sven Miller with the California Highway Patrol says there are no immediate reports of any injuries.

Drivers on Interstate 5 between Grapevine and Castaic about 40 miles north of downtown Los Angeles are being assisted off the roadway. Miller says it could take up to 24 hours to clear the freeway in both directions.
