A landslide in the southern Brazilian state of Paraná killed at least two people and left dozens missing on Wednesday, Nov. 30, according to officials.

(CNN) -- A landslide in the southern Brazilian state of Paraná killed at least two people and left dozens missing on Wednesday, according to officials.

A landslide, which followed heavy rainfall, affected Brazil's BR-376 highway, CNNE reports. Authorities believe mud buried six trailers, and up to 15 vehicles on the highway, as it tumbled on a 200-meter (656-foot) stretch of the road in Guaratuba, about 300 miles south of Sao Paulo in southeast Brazil.

A fire department representative told local media that they estimate that between 30 and 50 people could be missing.

The representative added that military police, firefighters, civil defense teams and rescue dogs are assisting with rescue efforts and the cleaning of embankments.

The heavy rains also caused flooding and flash floods in other coastal municipalities.
