Flash flood kills one in Saudi Arabia’s Jazan

A flash flood from the mountains of southwestern Saudi Arabia swept away part of a bridge in Jazan province, killing one person on Saturday, Al-Ekhbariya reported.

The news channel aired images of two vehicles caught up in the floodwaters, one of them crushed by a collapsed bridge support.

It said several people were also injured in the bridge collapse at an important crossroads inland from the city of Jazan.

The National Center for Meteorology warned Saturday that more heavy rainfall was still to come in Jazan province, with thunderstorms forecast in the mountains.
