Flood toll at 58

-

A man in central China was rescued after spending three days trapped in a flooded undergroun­d garage following torrential rains, while at least four bodies were found after a traffic tunnel was drained. The death toll rose to 58 after record rains hit Zhengzhou on Tuesday. The rains flooded a Zhengzhou subway tunnel where at least 12 people died, knocked out power to a hospital and other buildings and left streets filled with mud. Li Yongsheng was trapped when the garage flooded Tuesday and lay on a ventilatio­n duct surrounded by floating cars. After being rescued in chest-deep water he was hospitalis­ed with a crush injury.
