Dozens of cars swept away and people left stranded on a gas station roof amid deadly flooding in northern Turkey.
ANKARA, Turkey -- Heavy rains triggered severe floods and mudslides in northern Turkey on Wednesday, killing at least one person, leaving others missing or injured and sweeping away cars in raging torrents, officials said. Helicopters scrambled to rescue people stranded on rooftops.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said at least one person was killed and others were missing in the floods but did not provide an exact number. Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu, who traveled to Kastamonu, said waters have surged “three or four meters high” in some of the flood-hit areas and that many people were waiting to be rescued from rooftops.
In Bartin, the flash floods demolished several houses and at least two bridges and caused the partial collapse of a road leading to the neighboring province of Karabuk, the private Turkish news agency DHA reported. At least 13 people were injured when a bridge caved in, Turkey's disaster and emergency management agency said.
