Ten killed as landslide hits vehicles in Indonesia

Pranata said rescuers pulled out the body of the van's driver late on Thursday and his six family members, including three children, wife and parents, were retrieved on Friday, together with the bodies of the three traders.

Footage released by East Java's Search and Rescue Agency showed the road covered by thick mud, rocks and uprooted trees.

Seasonal rain from about October to April frequently cause flooding and landslides in Indonesia, a vast archipelago of 17,000 islands where millions of people live in mountainous areas or near fertile flood plains.
