Index River Road Herald Staff INDEX – A mix of snow, mud and trees collapsed on Mt. Index River Road this morning, making U.S. 2 out of reach for about 100 people. Officials have closed the road and are inspecting the slide, which occurred about 9 a.m., the Snohomish County executive’s spokesperson, Christopher Schwarzen, said. No injuries or damage to any homes was reported. People earlier this afternoon could still pass on foot, but the road continued to slide into the south fork of the Skykomish River. Sheriff’s deputies and fire officials were going door to door to notify people whose homes were affected. School buses were going to transport some residents to a Red Cross shelter in Monroe.
