It was hot water mixed with mud and rocks. We ran to the car. Mine was parked next to the place the water was gushing from. But when we got there we saw that it was impossible to get it out of there. The water pressure went down after a time, the hole the water made was huge and all the rocks and soil it got flying into the air landed on the cars," one of the owners of damaged cars said. According to the TV-show, rescue teams are currently working at the accident site. No casualties were reported.
