OAKLAND (KCBS) -- A landslide caused some residents in the Oakland hills to evacuate their homes Thursday night.

The slide occurred about 8 p.m. along Banning Drive between Moore and Doran Drives.

Two homes were directly affected by the slide and occupants of seven other homes were evacuated as a precaution.

The slide also led to a road collapse on nearby Aitken Drive, cutting off additional traffic in the neighborhood and forcing East Bay Municipal Utility District crews to cut off water to 25 homes.
