A massive sinkhole has shut down Highway 92 in San Mateo County indefinitely.
"Neighbors are posting almost every 15 minutes or half an hour, any news on Highway 92?" Half Moon Bay resident Sheryl Young said.
Young is one of at least 15,000 people living along the county's coast side regions directly impacted by the sinkhole that shut down Highway 92. In the event of an emergency, Young says the closest hospital would be Sutter Health in San Carlos.Bay Area storm live updates: Get the latest storm news hereHighway 92 is a main thoroughfare for the county's bayside and coastal regions to access three of the main hospital systems.
"If a transport is needed, you're probably looking at double or triple the amount of time to get a patient to the emergency department," said Peter Green, a retired firefighter paramedic. Green is a 42-year veteran EMS worker who has studied the routes in this area. He explains the 92 closure limits the fire engines that are available on the coast as there's only three stations serving the area in Half Moon Bay, El Granada, and Moss Beach.
