BEIJING — Four boats capsized in a sudden storm at a tourist spot in southwestern China, killing 10 people, state media said Monday.
More than 80 people fell into a river when strong winds hit the scenic area in Guizhou province late Sunday afternoon, state broadcaster CCTV said.
The boats capsized after a sudden rain and hail storm on the upper reaches of the Wu River, a tributary of the Yangtze, China’s longest river. In one video shared by state media, a man could be seen performing CPR on another person, while one of the vessels drifted upside down.
Initial reports said two tourist boats had capsized, but state media said on Monday that four boats were involved.
The other two boats involved had no passengers aboard, and the seven crew members were able to save themselves, CCTV said.
Chinese President Xi Jinping called for all-out efforts to find the missing and care for the injured, the official Xinhua News Agency said on Sunday. Seventy people were sent to a hospital, most with minor injuries.
