KUNMING - One person has died and two others are missing after a landslide onto a road in Southwest China's Yunnan province on Thursday afternoon.
The accident, in which a further six people were injured, happened around 2:05 pm on a road in Shiyueliang township, Fugong county of Nujiang Lisu autonomous prefecture.
When three cars stopped to check fallen rocks on the road, they were struck by a second collapse, said the county's publicity department.
The accident also disrupted the only main road linking the county with Liuku, the capital of the prefecture.
The landslide was related to heavy rainfall in South China over the last few days, according to the publicity department.
The injured are being treated in a county hospital and further investigation is under way.
