Bengkulu (Antara Bali) - Rain-triggered landslides blocked and trapped a number of cars and motorcycles along a highway between the districts of Bengkulu Utara and Lebong.
Heavy equipment had been brought in from both Bengkulu Utara and Lebong to remove the piles of earth and clear the provincial road, head of the Bengkulu public works service Azwar Boerhan said via telephone on Monday.
"Hopefully a number of cars including those of the chief of the Lebong district police and district secretariat could move out from the places where they have been trapped since last night," Azwar said.
Heavy rain on Sunday afternoon until night caused the landslides in five locations along the highway, he said. (*/M038)
