A severe landslide has damaged large parts of a major highway in southwest China on Wednesday (27 April). The landslide is said to have been caused by continuous torrential rain.
The potential landslide was brought to local police officer's attention when a patrol unit noticed that the cliff along the changing-Shiqian highway was beginning to collapse
Not long after the area was sealed off, thousands of meters of earth collapsed onto the road forming a severe landslide.
Fortunately, no casualties were reported and the local government is currently repairing the road with hopes to resume normal traffic flow as soon as possible.
