This is the terrifying moment a woman screams and ducks for cover when a landslide falls in front of her car.<br /><br />Yiimwan Sirinya, 31, was driving home when she noticed rumbling trees and hazard signs on the mountain road in Lampang, northern Thailand, yesterday (September 2) around 3 pm.<br /><br />The shocked driver stopped and watched as the hillside collapsed following days of heavy rain from Storm Podul weakening the foundations.<br /><br />Mobile phone footage shows how tonnes of earth, trees and rocks came crashing down onto the road. <br /><br />Yiimwan said: ''I never expected anything as dramatic as this one the way home. We were the first car in the row that stopped. <br /><br />''I was so scared and we had a young child in the back. I thought the rocks were going to fall on the car so I ducked down and closed my eyes.''<br /><br />The landslide came after constant downpours from Tropical Storm Podul battered Lampang and several provinces in northern Thailand causing mass floods.<br /><br />Officials had to close the road lanes and temporarily stop the traffic as the rocks and earth were constantly falling and creating the huge surface cracks on the mountain.<br /><br />A police spokesperson said: ''The authorities provided heavy equipment to clean up the debris but we couldn't access the area as the bunch of rocks were still sliding down.<br /><br />''It would approximately take about 24 hours to clean the mess. Meanwhile, the drivers had to avoid using the road until the landslide was totally stopped.''
