A flash flood in northwest China on Thursday night killed five villagers who were in the hills rounding up their sheep, sweeping their car into a rapidly rising river, local media reported on Friday.
A group of seven villagers in a rugged part of Gansu province were trying to herd more than 80 sheep when a sudden storm forced them to take shelter in their cars which were parked by a river, local officials told state media.
The province has stepped up emergency measures in eight cities, expecting heavy rain, hail and more flash floods, the officials added.
