China tunnel flood: Desperate search to find trapped workers

A rescue mission is under way to save 14 workers trapped in a flooded tunnel being built in southern China.

Teams are pumping water out of the highway tunnel to find the workers who were caught when it collapsed in the early hours of Thursday.

Hundreds of rescuers, along with 22 fire trucks and five pumping stations, are trying to locate the workers.

Investigators are trying to discover what caused the flooding at the tunnel in Zhuhai, Guangdong province. Construction workers heard strange noises about 1km (0.6 miles) inside the tunnel, officials say.

An evacuation was ordered at around at 03:30 local time , but water began gushing into the tunnel and 14 of the workers could not make it out.
