A sudden landslide along a steep mountain road yesterday left dozens of travelers trapped as massive rocks and uprooted trees collapsed onto the roadway, creating a dangerous and chaotic scene. Witnesses reported hearing a deep rumbling sound moments before the hillside gave way, sending soil, stones, and tree trunks crashing down and burying large sections of the road.
People who were walking and driving along the route were forced to stop as debris continued sliding down from the mountainside. Many stood stranded, some attempting to help one another climb over the rubble while others called for assistance. Several families, including children, were seen huddled together, visibly shaken and uncertain of the situation.
According to locals, the area had experienced continuous rainfall over the past several days, softening the soil and increasing the likelihood of collapse. Experts suggest that the saturation of the ground contributed significantly to the sudden break and downward slide of earth and vegetation.
Emergency response teams were reported to be on their way, but rescue efforts remain difficult due to unstable land conditions and ongoing movement of loose earth. Authorities are urging nearby residents and travelers to avoid the area, warning that another collapse could occur at any moment.
Officials are currently assessing the extent of the damage and working to open a safe passage for those still trapped. More updates are expected as rescue operations progress.
