At least 14 people died and 34 were injured in a mudslide triggered by heavy rains in Colombia on Tuesday, the national disaster agency said.
The early morning rains touched off a landslide on a mountain in central-western Risaralda province, burying several homes in the impoverished municipality of Dosquebradas.
“We have counted 14 people who died and 34 injured in the mudslide said local official Carlos Maya.
Rescue teams dug through the mud looking for survivors, said the National Unit for Management of Risks and Disasters.
“A very loud noise scared us. We went out and saw a piece of the mountain on top of the houses,” taxi driver Dubernei Hernandez, 42, told AFP.
“I went to that place and it was a disaster, with people trapped.”
Hernandez said he helped dig up two bodies and a survivor. He said at least five homes were buried by the mud.
The disaster agency published a photograph showing a gap in the lush green vegetation as a result of the mudslide.
Rescue teams said they feared new mudslides could result in the nearby Otun river being dammed, which would worsen the disaster.
