Flash floods across China kill at least 20, dozens missing

Flash floods in northern and southwestern China have killed at least 20 people and left dozens missing, state media reported on Saturday, following a week of heavy downpours across the country.

In Shaanxi province, a bridge collapse late Friday caused several vehicles to plunge into a swollen river, killing at least 12 people and leaving over 30 missing.

Initial reports indicated that 17 cars and eight trucks fell into the river in Shangluo city. Images showed a partially submerged bridge section with water rushing over it.

A witness described how other drivers yelled at him to stop his car just before a truck ahead of him plunged into the water.

In Sichuan province, more than 30 people were reported missing on Saturday after a violent thunderstorm caused flash flooding in Ya’an town.

Eight bodies were recovered, and four people were rescued without serious injuries, the AFP has reported.
