36 people were killed and 30 injured after a road collapsed due to rain in China’s Guangdong province.
The accident took place on Wednesday morning due to heavy rain on Dabu Expressway, the length of the collapsed section was 17.9 meters and due to this, 23 vehicles were submerged and more than 30 people were injured in the accident besides 36 deaths.
Mezbo is one of the areas in southern China’s Guangdong Province that has been hit hard by heavy rain and hail since late April, causing landslides, inundation of houses and destruction of bridges.
Incessant rains, hailstorms and typhoons have ravaged southern China, forcing the evacuation of an entire town of more than 1,700 people in Guangdong province, media reported.
Media reports say scenes of devastation have been seen across the province since the arrival of powerful storms last week, which was once called the “factory floor of the world”, with April rainfall records breaking here. Heavy rains have knocked down power lines and disrupted mobile telephone networks across the region.
