COLIMA, Mexico —
The 13,000-foot Colima volcano in western Mexico erupted in a towering cloud of ash and rocks that forced those living near the flanks to flee.
No injuries or deaths were reported.
No signs of new volcanic activity emerged Friday and about 500 people returned home following the Thursday night scare.
The volcano lies in a mountainous area 440 miles west of Mexico City near the Pacific coast.
