People swept away by mudslide as mountainside collapses in Bolivia

Spread The Viralist



A mudslide in Bolivia was captured on camera as people attempted to traverse a track on foot in an area of the mountains north-east of Sucre. The disaster came after a third successive day of heavy rain in the area, and there was no immediate report of casualties. 
A day earlier another mudslide buried vehicles in the same area, killing at least 11 people. Tonnes of earth and mud collapsed on to a mountain highway near a spot known as El Choro on Saturday. The mountainside gave way as cars were lined up to make their way along a muddy patch of road.
