Four people, including two children, are missing after a sinkhole triggered by a landslide swallowed their house in Canada.
Officials said on Tuesday that the house partially collapsed on Monday night in Saint-Jude, a town of 1000 near the Yamaska River.
Fire department spokesman Francois Gregoire said the landslide has left a gigantic crater and that the house was quite far from the river before the land gave way, but that part of it ended up in the water.
Gregoire said three cars in front of the house were swept away, as was part of a nearby road.
Gregoire said rescuers were able to partially enter the collapsed house but could not locate the missing man and a woman in their 40s and their children aged about nine and 11.
