Comment (A 260-square-meter hillside landslide suddenly occurred in the Northern City-ring Expressway of Guangzhou around 12:30 yesterday noon. It blocked two lanes and forced the Western City-ring Expressway of Guangzhou and Guangzhou-Foshan Expressway closed for hours, resulting in a terrible traffic jam involving thousands of vehicles. An excavator clears the landslide. (Guangzhou Daily)No traffic was found at the Ground Zero at the moment of the accident. No one was injured and no vehicles damaged. The Ground Zero has been cleared and the traffic resumed at about 21:00 last night. The landslide was due to the porous soil loosened by the recent one-month rainfall. The expressway will be checked for safety soon to avoid similar accident, according to Mr. Wu Binsheng, Vice General Manager of the Northern City-ring Expressway of Guangzhou. (By Ronald Li)
