A severe landslide early Sunday in Zigui County of central China's Hubei Province left four people dead and 20 missing.
The accident occurred around 0:20 am Sunday in the remote Qianjiangping Village of Shazhenxi Township.
Rescue work is under way but constrained by inconvenient traffic to the hilly village.
Hubei Governor Luo Qingquan and Yu Zhengsheng, secretary of the Hubei Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC), rushed to the site Sunday afternoon to guide the rescue.
