    At Least One Trapped After Dorset Landslide

    At least one person is reported trapped after two landslides within minutes near a holiday park in Dorset.

    Emergency services were called to the incident near the Freshwater Village holiday park in Burton Bradstock at about 12.30pm.

    South West Ambulance Service said: "One person is reported as being trapped and the ambulance service is working in partnership with the other agencies on the scene to reach them as quickly as possible."

    A spokeswoman for the coastguard said the landslide was about 400m from the park on the Jurassic Coast, which is popular with fossil hunters.

    Witness Len Muggeridge, who was fishing off the coast, told Sky News: "Basically we heard a large thunder-like sound and we looked up and half of the cliff towards Freshwater had fallen down.

    "Within 20 minutes there were people tramping over the top of it and then a second fall occurred.

    "I would say somewhere in the region of about 30 or 40 tonnes of rock fell in the first fall and somewhere in the region of about 100 tonnes or more in the second fall."
