A mudslide, accidentally caused by a contractor, damaged two homes at Wismar, Linden on Wednesday.
No one was injured in the disaster, which occurred after an excavator accidentally hit a main pipeline.
Regional Democratic Council (RDC) Chairman for Region 10 Deron Adams said yesterday that the contractor, identified only as Mr Harry, would normally clear the drains of debris for residents in the Wismar community as an act of goodwill. However, on Wednesday, while on top up of a hill clearing the drains for residents in the community, the operator of his excavator accidentally hit one of the mains in the area. The water gushed out and accumulated, causing mud on top of the hill to slide. The excavator fell as well.
