A rain-triggered landslide cut off a local road in Beichuan Qiang Autonomous County, southwest China's Sichuan Province on Sunday. No casualties or damages to passing vehicles were caused, thanks to timely monitoring and early warning from local authorities. The accident started with sporadic rock-falls at around 18:00 on Sunday. Local transport and public security authorities immediately put up a cordon at the scene and suspended traffic, not long before a huge landslide completely cut off the road.
