Tunnel avalanche aftermath
No one appears to have been injured in the massive rock fall in the southbound part of a tunnel nearby my town late on Christmas Day.
The 1765-meter (5790-foot) long tunnel opened for traffic on Oct. 30, 2001 and is on the major E-18 highway. The avalanche was reported to police at 10:55 p.m. on Christmas Day, and the drone of falling rock could still be heard coming from the tunnel three hours later.
Authorities believe that it is highly unlikely that anyone was killed in the avalanche.
