At least six people have died after a pickup truck carrying 15 passengers fell into a swollen river in the southwestern Chinese region of Guangxi. In separate incidents, three people died in flash floods in a village in Hubei, while one person died in the southern province of Hunan, Chinese media report.

China’s meteorological agency said that areas in Jiangxi, Anhui, Hunan, Hubei, Guizhou, Guangxi, Guangdong, and Hainan are facing a high risk of flash floods and landslides.

In some parts of the central Chinese provinces of Hubei and Hunan, evacuations of residents from flooded areas are underway, while in the city of Jingzhou a historic rainfall record has been broken since the meteorological station began operations in 1953.

The fire and rescue team of Hubei has deployed more than 1,410 firefighters, over 90 rescue vehicles, more than 1,500 pieces of equipment and supplies, and 100 boats to Jingzhou, local officials said, according to China Daily.

In the flood-affected areas, public transport has been suspended, including city buses, taxis, and intercity transport, while authorities have urged residents to avoid unnecessary travel.
