(KERO) — Video footage of I-5 on Wednesday afternoon shows the damage after a landslide caused a portion of the freeway near Castaic to crumble into pieces and slip into the creek below.

Caltrans initially reported the landslide on Friday when a southbound lane between the Whitaker Brake Check Area and Templin Highway was closed.

Large chunks of asphalt were seen breaking off.

Caltrans crews placed k-rail barriers Tuesday afternoon as they continued to monitor the damage. No injuries were reported.

Caltrans urges people to drive with caution.
