Transcript of Colombia: At least 34 dead after mudslide covers highway

In one swift motion, this forceful mudslide plows onto a highway in western Colombia, crushing into traffic and people below. Cars have been swallowed by the Earth, and dozens of people, including children, have been buried. This usually busy road, which connects the cities of Kibdo and Madeleine is now swamped in thick mud. The view from above shows its deadly path. Emergency services are desperately searching for signs of life whilst identifying the victims they've already lost.

The extraction of bodies continues, and they will be recognized as their relatives approach the prosecutor's office to identify them through photographs.

The area is continuing to experience heavy rainfall, adding to the already challenging search efforts. The scale of damage is only just becoming apparent, with the number of lives taken expected to rise. Asha Nharanag, Sky News.
