Santa Barbara County Fire officials say crews are currently searching for four people missing after a big rig crashed into a building in Santa Barbara Tuesday morning.
That crash happened at about 6:50a.m. Tuesday, at a residential building located at 4111 State St., near Highway 154. According to maps, that is where the Hope Ranch Inn is located. Fire officials say the double-trailer big rig was hauling gravel from highway 154 to the driveway of the residence when, for unknown reasons, it continued and crashed into the residence. Crews say Urban Search and Rescue Teams are on scene now, searching for four people who may have been inside the structure when the crash happened. Fire officials also say the building is collapsing.
There are also reports that live power lines are down in the area, and there is a possible gas leak.
