Anaheim Bay drowning -- A news brief in Monday’s California section of the Orange County edition about a drowning mistakenly included some text from an article about a house collapsing in a landslide that appeared elsewhere in the paper.
Two of the other men suffered head injuries that were not life-threatening. Speed is being considered as a possible cause of the collision, said an official.
A house next door that had not been completed also appeared close to falling down, the wood frame starting to cave in on itself as windows dangled from the two-story home.
