南加州著名海滩悬崖坍塌，一人死亡，多人受伤

A woman was killed and four people were injured — two critically— after a cliff collapsed on a popular Southern California beach Friday, authorities said.

周五，南加州一处著名海滩的悬崖坍塌，造成一名妇女死亡，四人受伤，其中两人伤势严重。

The sandstone bluff gave way shortly before 3 p.m. in Encinitas, a suburb north of San Diego. The area is highly popular with local residents, surfers and vacationers.

下午将近3点，位于圣迭戈北部郊区恩西尼塔斯的砂岩断崖坍塌。。该地区深受当地居民、冲浪者和度假者的欢迎。

The beach was filled with people at the time of the collapse. A KNSD-TV helicopter captured footage of beach chairs, towels, surf boards and beach toys strewn about the sand.

倒塌时海滩上挤满了人。一架KNSD-TV直升机拍摄到沙滩椅、毛巾、冲浪板和沙滩玩具散落在沙滩上的画面。

Two people were flown to hospitals in critical condition, and two were treated for minor injuries, Encinitas Fire Chief Mike Stein said. Authorities did not release their names or ages.

恩西尼塔消防队长迈克·斯坦表示，有两人伤势严重已送往医院，还有两人轻伤正接受治疗。当局没有公布他们的姓名或年龄。

Homes on top of the bluff were not in any danger, Stein said. Rescue crews were searching for additional victims, but they did not have full access because of safety concerns.

斯坦因说，悬崖顶上的房屋没有任何危险。救援人员正在寻找更多的遇难者，但出于安全考虑，他们没有完全进入现场。

Bluffs give way four to eight times a year in Southern California, but “nothing of this magnitude,” said Brian Ketterer, southern field division chief of California State Parks.

南加州州立公园的南部地区负责人布莱恩·凯特瑞(BrianKetterer)说，在南加州，每年会有4到8次悬崖坍塌，但都“没有这么严重。”
