Death toll from south China road collapse rises to 36

This photo taken on 1 May 2024 shows an aerial view of a collapsed section of a highway near Meizhou in southern China's Guangdong province. At least 36 people died after part of a highway collapsed due to heavy rain on 1 May, state media said. Over 20 vehicles were trapped by the collapse, which was triggered by heavy rain.

Heavy rains caused a stretch of road running from Meizhou city towards Dabu county to cave in at around 02:10 on Wednesday , according to state news agency Xinhua. The storms have been much heavier than expected this time of year and have been linked to climate change."As of 5:30 am on ... 36 people have died, and 30 people have been injured," Xinhua said, adding that the injuries were not life-threatening.At least 4 dead in US after multiple tornadoes rip through Oklahoma

The country's lush southern and southeastern provinces - including Guangdong - are likely to be among the worst hit, leading to"a higher risk of geological disasters", the ministry was quoted as saying.
