Dozens die in Guatemala landslide
Emergency workers at the scene of a landslide near the village of Aquil Grande in northern Guatemala (05/01/2009)
The highway had already been closed after an earlier landslide
At least 33 people have died in a huge landslide in a northern area of Guatemala and many more are missing.
Thousands of tons of earth collapsed on to a road in the Alta Verapaz area, some 200km (124 miles) north of the capital, Guatemala City.
But officials say the figure could be much higher as approximately 140 people were in the area at the time of Sunday's landslide.
Rescue efforts have been hampered by further rockfalls, officials say.
Guatemalan Deputy Minister of Public Works Wilfredo Garcia told a news conference rescue workers were "taking every precaution" but had been unable to get heavy machinery into the area.
The accident happened in a hilly, sparsely populated area, blocking a road that runs from San Cristobal Verapaz to Chicaman.
The same area was hit by a rockfall last month, killing at least two people.
