A large amount of mud and rocks cascaded down a hillside in southern China's Shangrao City on June 27.

Eyewitnesses reported that the mountainside on one side of the highway suddenly became loose, followed by a torrent of mud, rocks, and trees rolling down like a flood, swiftly covering part of the road surface.

Faced with this sudden natural disaster, pedestrians and drivers urgently scrambled to evade, resulting in a chaotic scene.

According to preliminary investigations, the landslide may have been triggered by recent continuous rainfall. The infiltration of rainwater loosened the soil on the mountainside, ultimately leading to the landslide.

Fortunately, no casualties were reported.
