Rescue workers are combing through a mountain of mud and rock trying to find survivors after a landslide killed at least six people in Colombia.
Heavy rains caused the massive landslide, the size of two football fields, to spill across the main highway between Bogota and Medellin, Wednesday morning local time.
Several cars and a restaurant were swallowed up in the disaster, with more than 100 rescue workers called in to comb through the area.
