Flooding and landslides struck a village and caused the collapse of a highway bridge in southwestern Sichuan province. At least two people were killed and around a dozen are missing.

At least two people died and around 12 others are missing after flooding and mudslides destroyed homes and caused a highway bridge to collapse in China’s southwestern Sichuan province on Saturday, state media reported.

State broadcaster CCTV spoke of “local mountain torrents and landslides,” that swept away part of Ridi village in Kangding, in Sichuan’s western highlands.

The area sits at the foothills of the Himalayas and has a large Tibetan population.
