Landslides kill 15 in western Venezuela after heavy rains
Fifteen people are confirmed to have died in landslides in Venezuela's western Mérida state.
Streets in mountain villages were converted into raging torrents after torrential rains hit the area in the Andes.
Footage taken by locals showed cars being swept away and boulders strewn over muddy roads.
Most of the fatalities occurred in the town of Tovar, where the Mocotíes river bust its banks after hours of rainfall.
