Highway 74 took a wallop from flooding and slides in the San Jacinto Mountains. The highway was shut down Saturday from Hemet to Route 243 west of Idyllwild after the road washed away over Strawberry Creek, leaving a gaping hole about 40 feet wide and 30 feet deep, said California Highway Patrol spokesman Officer Scott Beauchene.
Drivers traveling between Hemet and Idyllwild will need to loop through Banning on I10 on Highway 243
It was not immediately clear how long it would take to repair the damage.
