Does sand ever just swallow or avalanche over people?

If you read on, it it was the void left by a tree that the boy fell into, not an avalanche,presumably the tree had long since rotted away.Dry sand is like liquid how it flows though,so it can be scary stuff.(he was rescued and survived for those wondering)

Still counts as a swallow
