BENGUET — Nearly 20 feet of mud and boulders buried and crushed 6 vehicles that were parked in a lot in KM16 in the town of Tublay early Saturday morning.

Four trucks, a loader construction vehicle, and a backhoe were among those damaged when the landslide happened at about 4 a.m.

Motorists were stranded for nearly 6 hours because the road was covered in mud. City officials were able to clear the road at 10 a.m.

At the time this story was filed, the vehicles remained stuck underneath the mud, causing traffic to build up all the way to the provincial capital of La Trinidad.
