7 killed, child missing in China as cars swept away in floods

Seven people were killed and a child remained missing after several vehicles were swept away by flash floods in China's northwest province of Shaanxi.
The floods inundated Ansai County, Yan'an City, on Monday when heavy rain caused two rivers to burst their banks, flooding roads and sweeping away five cars.
Police said the passengers of two vehicles managed to escape.
Seven passengers from another three vehicles died at the scene and their bodies were pulled from the river.
A five-year-old child remains missing, they said.
More than 400 professionals have been involved in the search and rescue mission over the last two days, Yan'an government said in a statement.

Five cars have been removed from the waterway, state-run Xinhua news agency reported.
