A landslide on a motorway in southern Brazil has killed at least two people and left dozens missing.


A torrent of mud fell on to the BR-376 highway in the state of Paraná, hitting more than 21 vehicles, authorities said.


Rescue workers at the scene said bad weather and the remote location were complicating the search effort.


Firefighters are using a thermal camera to locate possible survivors. Up to 30 people are thought to still be missing.
