China sends rescue workers to Guangxi flood site

China sent emergency rescue workers to the rural Guangxi region in the southwest on Sunday after a pickup truck carrying 15 passengers fell into a flooded river the previous evening, state broadcaster CCTV reported.

At least one person was found dead while nine passengers remain missing, CCTV reported earlier on Sunday.

Heavy rains over the weekend in southern China heightened the risk of flooding, the ministry of emergency management said in meetings with provincial authorities on Sunday.
