The Tizi N Tichka road between Marrakech and Ouarzazate was cut off on Sunday due to huge rocks which fell down from a mountain.

Media outlets reported that road was blocked on both sides of the falling stones.

Local sources attributed the falling of the rocks to the rainfalls a day before.

The Ministry of Equipment and Transport started removing the rocks later on in the day.

Stretched over 146 kilometers of mountainous range, the road has been known for being one of the deadliest in Morocco.

In 2015, the road was enlarged in an attempt to curb the number of accidents taking place there.
