Saletta, Italy (CNN)A strong, shallow earthquake devastated towns in central Italy early Wednesday, killing at least 73 people and placing rescuers in a desperate race against time to try to rescue survivors from the rubble.
Authorities scrambled to mobilize rescue teams, heavy equipment and medical staff into the most devastated areas, remote villages set amid mountainous terrain, which are only accessible by local roads.
Italy's Civil Protection agency said 73 people had been killed in the 6.2 magnitude quake, 53 of them in the town of Amatrice, and at least 100 people were injured. Other fatalities were reported in the nearby towns of Accumoli and Arquata del Tronto.

More than 1,000 people have been displaced by the quake, and the Civil Protection agency says no residents will be allowed to sleep in the devastated town of Amatrice tonight.
Addressing the nation Wednesday, Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi vowed to spare no effort in the critical window following the quake when lives could still be saved.
"In difficult times, Italy knows what to do," he said.
