COLLBRAN, Colo. (AP) — Rescue teams resumed the search Monday for three men reported missing after a large mudslide struck in a remote part of western Colorado.
The slide hit Sunday near the town of Collbran, about 40 miles east of Grand Junction and near Grand Mesa, one of the world's largest flat topped mountains. The Mesa County Sheriff's Department estimated it measured 4 miles long, 2 miles wide and as 250 feet deep in many places, but it said no structures or major roads were affected.

"This slide is unbelievably big," said Mesa County Lt. Phil Stratton said.
