Fatal landslide blocks road between Colombia's capital and Medellin
by Adriaan Alsema December 13, 2020
Two people were killed in a landslide that blocked the road between Colombia’s capital Bogota and the country’s second largest city, Medellin, on Saturday.
The landslide destroyed destroyed six homes that were built in the mountainous and high-risk area in the rural municipality of San Luis, killing one adult and a seven-year-old boy after weeks of heavy rainfall.
Three people were injured.
An alternative route still allows traffic between Colombia’s two largest cities, but the disaster response agency of the Antioquia province, Dapard, urged vigilance as the ongoing rainy season could cause other landslides in the mountainous region.
