California justice department to investigate enormous oil spill

Attorney general will seek to determine cause of spill and how it could have been prevented

California's justice department is investigating the spill off the coast of Huntington Beach earlier this month, which sent thousands of gallons of oil into the ocean, the state's attorney general, Rob Bonta, announced on Monday.

The spill, from an undersea pipeline, polluted the waters near Los Angeles last weekend, blackening beaches and endangering wildlife.
