Five killed, 11 injured in Colombia landslide
Five people were killed and 11 injured in a landslide caused by heavy rain in northwestern Colombia on Monday, authorities said.

Hundreds of tons of rocks and mud fell to a road near Cisneros city, Antioquia Department, early Monday, burying a bus and a taxi, witnesses said.

Six people were still missing, and rescuers have been working there since the landslide to find survivors and bodies.

The rainy season, starting in March, will last until late June or early July, the Hydrology, Meteorology and Environmental Studies Institute said.

The institute estimated that this year's heavy rain has left at least 35 people dead and more than 94,000 homeless in Colombia.
