At least one person has died and 10 others are missing after a landslide plunged boulders onto a neighborhood in Tlalnepantla, north of Mexico City on Friday, according to local authorities.

Video footage showed boulders plunging from a mountainside and crashing into a populated area in Tlalnepantla, of which some were even the size of a house.

Authorities had evacuated surrounding homes and asked people to avoid the area.
