A mountain road collapsed and caused dozens of drivers to become stranded.

The path's foundation was weakened by heavy rain cascading down the area which eroded a portion of it in Benguet, the Philippines on August 23.

Footage shows the edge of the road crumbling down as deluge flowed down.

Some of the drivers backed away to find an alternate route as the area became impassable after the massive damage.

One of the drivers Elmer Ce said: ‘We were shocked when the cars in front of us stopped saying the road is collapsing.'

Local authorities are now working on repairing the road to restore the route in the mountainous region.

The Philippines and neighbouring countries in Southeast Asia are at the start of their annual monsoon rainy season which sees soaring temperatures followed by powerful rain storms. The rudimentary infrastructure often struggles with the deluge, leading to widespread flash floods.
