KUNMING, July 27 (Xinhua) — Five people trapped in a car by a landslide in southwest China's Yunnan Province on Sunday have been confirmed dead, local authorities said.

According to the Press Office of the Pu'er City People's Government, prolonged heavy rains caused a landslide on a highway in Lancang Lahu Autonomous County in Pu'er at around 10:00 a.m., trapping a car and five people inside.

They were pulled from the rubble at approximately 1:40 p.m., but by that time they were all already dead.

More than 80 people, including firefighters, police, health and emergency services personnel, as well as five excavators, took part in the rescue operation.
