Colorado avalanche 'buries cars'
Colorado has been hit by three snow storms in recent weeks
A massive avalanche in the western US state of Colorado has buried cars and swept other vehicles off the road.
The avalanche, described by local rescue crews as the largest they had ever seen, struck at the Berthoud Pass, 100km (60 miles) west of Denver.
A Colorado transport spokesman told the BBC early reports suggest two cars had been caught up in the avalanche.
He said one person was seriously hurt and there were no fatalities reported. At least six people have been rescued.
Even though vehicles were swept off the road, they are not said to be in any danger, however details are still scarce.
The avalanche was described as 100ft (30m) wide and 15ft (4.5m) deep. Three snow storms in recent weeks have dumped more than 4ft of snow on parts of Colorado.
The site of the avalanche is on the main route to one of the Colorado's top skiing areas.
It happened at late-morning after the bulk of skier traffic had already passed, said Stacey Stegman of the Colorado Department of Transportation.
"If it would've happened just a couple of hours earlier, this would have been a very different situation," she told CNN.
