An over 40-meter-high cliff collapsed, blocking a highway tunnel entrance on Saturday afternoon, after recent torrential rainfall throughout north China’s Shanxi Province. • The landslide took place on a section of the Qingdao-Yinchuan highway located in the city of Luliang. It took only 10 seconds and was recorded on surveillance video. • At first, some loose soil could be seen falling from the cliff, then suddenly the mountain collapsed just after two vehicles drove into the tunnel. • Luckily they were fast enough to escape the landslide, and the following vehicles were able to brake and stop in time. • Two cars had just entered the tunnel, and they were fast enough. Just after they made it through, the cliff suddenly collapsed, said the driver of the car about to enter the tunnel when the accident happened. • When we arrived here, the landslide had totally blocked the tunnel entrance, and there was a line of vehicles for about five kilometers at the site. So we immediately dispatched highway maintenance crews to clear the landslide, so at least on one lane was available for traffic to pass through the tunnel, said Gu Zhiyu, a traffic police officer.
