IPOH: A major landslide has closed the North-South Expressway at 302km near Gua Tempurung during heavy rains yesterday. 

Tonnes of earth, boulders and trees came crashing down the hill slope burying at least six vehicles in metre-high rubble at a spot some 500m from where a landslide occurred on Jan 6, 1996.
