A landslide left at least three people dead and five more missing Friday morning near Colombia’s main port city on the Pacific.
Four houses were also destroyed by the landslide near the village of El Salto on the road to Buenaventura.
Governor Francisco Lourido confirmed the slip reached a magnitude of about 13,000 cubic feet.
Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos confirmed that the road leading to the main port on the Pacific coast was closed and relief agencies from Cali were being deployed to the area.
The landslide occurred near the town of Bendiciones that was devastated six years ago by a landslide that killed more than 40 people and destroyed more than 200 homes.
