NEW VIDEOS: Two houses in Draper slide off cliff into canyon Owners had vacated the homes months ago after being deemed unsafe to live in. Full story:

DRAPER, Utah — Multiple residents in a Draper neighborhood have been evacuated after two nearby homes slid off a cliff and into a canyon overnight, months after they were declared unsafe to live in.

Due to the incident and with one of the collapsed homes sliding onto the trail, Ann’s Trail is now closed to public use and people should stay clear due to dangerous conditions and not circumvent the closure notices. Months after construction was completed, Kamradt said one of the corners of the house had sunk up to 10 inches, and cracks in the foundation and patio concrete became visible. In December, EDGE Homes told FOX 13 Investigates that the homes had shifted due to “unique geographic features and the soils on which they were constructed.”
