Four people died and two others were injured when a road slope collapsed in northwest China's Shaanxi Province Tuesday morning, local authorities said.
A makeshift shelter was buried in the accident that occurred at 6:40 a.m. in Shenmu county. Of the six people trapped in the accident, three died on the spot and one died in hospital. The other two people sustained minor injuries and have already left the hospital.
Rescuers said the accident was caused by the thawing of the frozen ground, and further investigation into the precise cause of the accident is still underway.
