More than 150 vehicles and around 400 people were stranded on a section of the Sichuan-Tibet Highway in southwest China's Tibet Autonomous Region yesterday, after a road collapsed.
This occurred about 8am in the Suotong Village section in Bomi County.
Police have been dispatched to the scene to clear and maintain the road, evacuate people and implement traffic restrictions.
Heavy rainfall and water seeping in beneath the road surface from a nearby river led to the collapse of the 70-meter stretch of highway, said Zhang Zhanwu, leader of the repair teams.
Excavators and loaders are being used in the repair efforts and traffic was expected to resume last night, police said.
This section of the highway also collapsed in July 2010, leading to a 16-day traffic disruption.
