SAN MATEO, CA — Police said they shut down a road Monday in San Mateo due to flooding caused by heavy rain.

At 5:05 a.m. on Monday, the San Mateo Police Department sent out an alert stating eastbound and westbound of 42nd Avenue at S. El Camino Real had been reopened after flooding caused police to close that intersection early Monday morning.
