UCLA Flood: More Than 300 Damaged Cars Can Be Picked Up Tuesday

About 340 cars damaged by a massive flood at UCLA will be available for pickup by their owners Tuesday morning at parking lots next to Jackie Robinson Stadium, a university spokesman said.

The vehicles will be available Tuesday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., spokesman Tod Tamberg said.

“There could be cars with water that went halfway up the wheel,” he previously told The Times. “The owners may be able to drive those off, and if they do that will be terrific. For others, it will be a tough day emotionally to see their car ruined.”

When owners descend on the lot Tuesday, it will have been a week since they last saw their cars. A water-main break on Sunset Boulevard created a massive sinkhole and flooded several structures at UCLA, including parking lots 4 and 7.
