Rescue crews in an Italian Alpine city were searching Monday for any possible missing people along the path of a mountain stream that violently burst its banks after heavy rainfall, causing a mudlide.
The streets of Bardonecchia, a city near Turin in the Val di Susa mountain valley, were coated in thick gray mud following the violent mudslide late Sunday. Witness video showed a huge wave of dirt and debris toppling a gate and residents running away as the muck rushed down a city street; other videos showed thick mud coursing through the river banks that pass through town.
