At least 14 people were killed, mostly police officers, and another 53 were injured in an early morning highway crash Tuesday involving two packed police buses and a cargo truck in Argentina’s southern Patagonia region, local media said.
The accident occurred along a stretch of National Highway No. 3 in the Patagonian province of Chubut just before 6:45 a.m. local time, when a truck carrying cereals crashed into the police buses, which were bringing the officers back from a security operation at an oil field.
The police were headed first to the town of Puerto Madryn, about 65 kilometres from the accident site, and later back to their bases in the provinces of Buenos Aires and Santa Fe, some 1, 330 kilometres to the north.
Images provided by the daily El Chubut showed one of the police buses mangled almost beyond recognition and the roadway covered in what appeared to be the truck’s spilled cargo.

The truck driver and both police bus drivers were confirmed to be among the dead.
The injured were taken to a hospital in nearby Puerto Madryn, and those in critical condition were to be transported to larger hospitals in the nearby city of Trelew and the provincial capital Rawson, rescue workers said.
The highway was closed to traffic while rescue teams removed the bodies and wreckage, and authorities tried to determine the cause of the crash.

Seventeen people have been taken to a hospital after being struck by lightning at Sweden’s Peace and Love Music Festival.
Festival organizers set up a makeshift care center to begin transporting people to a local health facility near Borlänge, Central Sweden.
“First we saw a lightning flash and then we heard a really loud clap of thunder. The next thing we knew, the ambulances had come”
says witness Amanda Andersen to the Dagens Nyheter newspaper (quote via The Local).
Lightning struck the grounds around 3PM on Tuesday, just as the summer concert series was beginning. Rihanna, Mumford and Sons, Regina Spektor, Skrillex, Bloc Party and Billy Idol are just a few of the big-name performers.
The people involved have reportedly received only minor injuries, with most “up and walking.”

More than 100 people are missing and about 30 confirmed dead in eastern Uganda after a landslide buried villages.
On Monday, the Uganda Red Cross said at least 18 people had been killed, but yesterday government officials said the number of fatalities was higher and that 109 people were still missing around Mt Elgon, a major coffee-growing area.
Heavy rain triggered a mudslide on Monday that cut through trees and bushes, burying two villages in mud, officials said, adding that 178 people had survived.
The search operation was called off yesterday officials said the chances of finding survivors were slim. “It is feared the landslide and floods buried about 29 homes with about 30 people dead,” said Stephen Mallinga, the minister of disaster preparedness and refugees.
He said the timing of the disaster – 2pm – had prevented more fatalities as many people were either at the market or at school.
Up to 400,000 people could require humanitarian aid as the rain intensified, forcing them to abandon their homes, he added.
Survivors fretted about the possibility of more landslides.
“I fear that the thing could come again and sweep me away. It happened in seconds. The trees were shaking and the soil was going down,” said 26-year-old Julius Wabuteya.
He said he had found his pregnant wife knee-deep in mud and had managed to pull her out and rush her to hospital to seek treatment for her injuries. Others were not so lucky.
Mary Lubango, who wailed in grief at the scene of the landslide, said she had lost several relatives when the landslide struck.

UPDATE: 28 June, 2012
Rescue workers in Uganda yesterday June 26 ended the search for the dead, concentrating on looking after the injured and displaced.
An estimated 450 people are believed to have been buried in massive landslides
on Monday June 25 in the villages of Namaga and Bunakasala, Bududa District in the eastern part of the country near Mount Elgon.
(Image: BBC) Uganda landslides: Sad picture speaks for itself…. (Click image for source)
The area was said to have experienced heavy rain for a number of days before Monday’s disaster struck.
Reports said only about 18 bodies had been recovered.
David Wakikona, a legislator from the region said most people were likely indoors when huge blocks of mud and rocks started to roll down hills, toppling homes, killing livestock and burying people alive. According to him, at least 300 people lived in the three affected villages.
A survivor, Rachael Namwono told Uganda’s Monitor newspaper that the ground quaked at 2 pm local time, followed by heavy rumbling of soil and stones which covered their home in the mountainous district.
Officials from Bududa confirmed that the final death toll would likely be in hundreds.
The Disaster Preparedness Minister, Stephen Mallinga said he also expected the death toll to rise as mud is removed from the affected villages, adding that moving the mud had so far proved difficult.
Minister Mallinga said many residents were refusing to move to safer locations as villages near Mount Elgon have fertile land and fewer cases of malaria.
He told the BBC that his government will eventually pass a law to relocate people from the top and sides of the mountain.
Even those who were relocated to a camp for refugees after the 2010 landslides secretly returned to Bududa, Mallinga explained.
A Red Cross official, Michael Nataka told Reuters news agency that the total number at risk in the buried areas was 448.
He said the Mount Elgon area has so many places with cracks and that each time there is prolonged rainfall, water seeps into the cracks, eventually causing landslides. Landslides are a common occurrence in the hilly parts of eastern Uganda.
They have been especially lethal over the years in villages where the land is denuded of vegetation cover.
Massive landslides in Bududa in 2010 killed about 100 people, destroying everything from the village market to a church.
A ship carrying about 150 people has sunk in the waters between Australia and Indonesia, the Australian Maritime Safety Authority said today (Wednesday).

Two merchant vessels are trying to rescue people where the ship went down, about 107 nautical miles north of Australia’s Christmas Island, the authority said.- CNN Wire
A boat carrying around 150 suspected asylum seekers has capsized off northwest Australia today, just a week after 90 people drowned on a similar journey.
Merchant ships are currently collecting survivors from the capsizing, which happened between Indonesia and Australia’s
Dozens of asylum seekers are feared drowned after a second boatload of capsized in less than a week in Australian waters today.
The frail wooden boat was estimated to have been carrying about 150 people and there were fears that many had drowned as rescuers were making their way to the scene of the tragedy.
Mr Mal Larsen, from the Australian Maritime Safety Authority said rescue ships were beginning to arrive at the scene and some people were being pulled from the water.
‘They are doing their best to pull people out,’ he said. ‘It’s too early to say how many have been saved.’
Update: At least one person died and Customs says 130 people have been rescued from the distressed boat.
Rescue authorities had been told by those aboard the vessel that its generator had stopped working and that the boat sank . – news.com.au
A crowded boat carrying asylum seekers to Australia capsized Wednesday and 125 survivors and one body were recovered from the Indian Ocean, less than a week after more than 90 people drowned on a similar journey. An air and sea search was ongoing for as many as 20 people who could still be missing, the Australian Maritime Safety Authority said. Three merchant ships that responded to the capsizing rescued 125 people, and the authority said one body was recovered. The area is midway between Christmas Island and the main Indonesian island of Java. The authority said up to 150 men, women and children may have been on the wooden Indonesian fishing boat. Prime Minister Julian Gillard told Parliament that two Australian warships and an air force aircraft that can drop life rafts on the sea joined the search by late Wednesday. The area is 200 kilometers (120 miles) north of Australia’s Christmas Island and 185 kilometers (115 kilometers) south of Java. The boat capsized in Indonesia’s search and rescue zone but Australian authorities had raised the alarm, Australian Maritime Safety Authority spokeswoman Jo Meehan said.
The first merchant ship reached the scene more than four hours later, she said. Last Thursday, 110 people were rescued when a boat carrying more than 200 mostly Afghan asylum seekers capsized only 24 kilometers (15 miles) from the latest tragedy. Only 17 bodies were recovered. The survivors’ refugee applications were being assessed at Christmas Island, where Australia runs an immigration detention center. Australia is a common destination for boats carrying asylum seekers from Afghanistan, Iraq, Sri Lanka and other poor or war-torn countries. Last week’s disaster rekindled debate in Parliament on how Australia should deter asylum seekers from risking the hazardous sea journey. The government wants to send new boat arrivals to Malaysia in exchange for accepting U.N.-recognized refugees living there. The opposition won’t support the legislation because Malaysia has not signed the Refugee Convention.

Torrential downpours have brought flooding to swaths of northern England, forcing people to leave their homes as more than a month’s worth of rain fell in 24 hours.
An 80-year-old man was hospitalised with serious internal injuries following a collision in heavy rain in the Scottish Borders on Friday afternoon.
In the West Yorkshire village of Mytholmroyd, the river Calder burst its banks at about 9pm, leaving many homes and businesses under water.
Simon Young, a local councillor, said it was “a pretty devastating picture. I’ve spoken to a lot of people, a lot of whom have lived in the area for years, and they cannot remember anything like this in the last 24 years. It’s going to be a pretty big clean-up operation.”
The deluges also battered revellers at the Isle of Wight Festival and brought havoc to Cumbria which buckled under the worst of the wet weather. Up to 100mm of rain hit the region overnight, while south-west Scotland, Northern Ireland and Lancashire also experienced unusually heavy rainfall.
The Environment Agency issued around 140 flood warnings and alerts in northern regions which are also subject to Met Office severe weather warnings. Some families spent the night in temporary accommodation after they were evacuated from properties in Lancashire when rivers burst their banks.
They were taken to the nearby Darwen Leisure Centre after fleeing homes in Croston and Darwen, near Chorley, but were expected to return today.
In Wigan, fire crews helped a number of residents leave their homes using a rescue boat after waist-deep water flooded homes and the RSPCA called firefighters to assist in the rescue of a number of animals from a flooded allotment, including six horses and four dogs.
Forecasters said water levels would begin to recede but further showers are expected to slow the clear-up process, meaning some areas will remain swamped.
However, the adverse conditions are set to improve – with the possibility of sunshine for festival-goers on Sunday.
Matt Dobson, senior forecaster at MeteoGroup, the weather division of the Press Association, said Borrowdale in Cumbria bore the brunt of the bad weather, with an estimated 100mm of rain.
“It has been exceptionally wet overnight across Cumbria,” he said.
“By the end of the night, it is fair to say that probably 70mm-100mm fell over 24 hours which is a month’s worth of rain. It looks like the worst is probably now over for Cumbria.
There will still be some showers today and overnight but it is not going to be anywhere near as bad as it has been.
The worst weather today is going to be across Scotland, where there is likely to be further heavy rain or thunder storms.
But the good news is the Isle of Wight is likely to have a dry day.”
Rain brought chaos to parts of the country yesterday, flooding more than 70 homes.
Croston was said to have become an “island” and homes were evacuated as the local authority handed out sandbags and a shelter was set up at the village’s Bishop Rawstorne School.
Localised flashflooding also hit households in Greater Manchester where water was said to be waist height in some areas.
Firefighters were called in to clear floodwater in Wigan, helping three people and a dog away from their properties by boat.
The Olympic torch relay was also hit by the weather with organisers forced to cancel an outdoor event in Blackpool.
But the outlook is more promising in the coming days.
A band of wet weather is expected to sweep the country tonight, moving from West to East.
Forecasts suggest it will pass relatively quickly, meaning no one place should see more than five hours of rain.
Amounts of between 10mm-15mm are expected to fall quite widely before clearing in many areas today, with much of the country expected to see a dry day on Monday.

Philippines Flooding: At least 2 dead as search for 61* swept away in Sarangani continues, 765 families evacuated
Search and rescue teams are the continuing the search for the 61* reported missing persons who were swept away by a flash flood in Sarangani Province Monday evening, June 11.
In a resolution approved by Glan Mayor James Victor Yap, the entire municipality of Glan was already declared under a state of calamity.
Yap said that the flash flood left an estimated P20-million damage on properties in the municipality with at least 30 houses totally destroyed.
He said that Vice-president Jejomar Binay had already committed 1,000 packs of relief goods for the affected families.
Aside from the provincial government and the neighboring municipalities, Sarangani Province Representative Manny Pacquiao also pledged financial support for the victims and for the search and rescue operations, Yap said.
Convergence and collaboration of rescue and relief operations between the local government, PNP, Philippine Army, Navy, Coast Guard and other disaster relief and rescue units are currently being conducted in the affected barangays in the municipalities of Glan and Maasim.
Maj Jake Obligado, Civil-Military Operations Chief of the 10th Infantry Division, said that the missing individuals were indentified after the Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Councils of the municipalities of Maasim and Glan conducted house-to-house surveys in every barangay to physically account for the affected families.
Obligado said that a total of 765 affected families are presently housed in 4 evacuation centers in the municipality of Glan. The Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction Management Office (PDRRMO) also reported that 276 persons, mostly fishermen, have been either rescued or washed ashore after the flash flood.
The Sarangani PDRRMO said that the local government of Maasim has dispatched search and rescue teams to barangay fishermen in Glan. Search and rescue units will also be dispatched to Balut Island to scour for more survivors.
Two persons were confirmed dead in the flooding brought by the torrential rain.
Meanwhile in Palawan, the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) found and retrieved the body of a 6th casualty in the MV Joecill 2 sea tragedy that occurred in El Nido, Palawan Tuesday, June 12.
The victim was identified as Juanito Tito, a village councillor of Barangay New Guinlo, Taytay. Survivors interviewed over local radio DWAR said they last saw Tito removing his life jacket and giving it to an elderly passenger before they jumped together into the water.
According to the PCG, 6 passengers have been reported missing by relatives, while 56 have been rescued.
Two of those missing were an 8-month-old infant and a certain Julito Buenafe.
The owner of the vessel, Silverio Atienza of Silverio Shipping Lines, acknowledged during a radio interview that the boat manifest did not include the names of other passengers who took the boat.
The Western Command reported 7 dead so far, while another unidentified body was retrieved Thursday afternoon. Search and rescue operations are still ongoing. (*now 37 missing)
KORONADAL CITY, June 15 (PIA) — Thirty-seven fishermen are still unaccounted or in Sarangani province, according to a report from the Sarangani Provincial Information based on the 4:00 p.m. June 14 consolidated report of the Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (PDRRMO).
This brings the total number of fishermen who were rescued or confirmed to have safely returned to shore to 307. Most of them have already returned to their homes.
They were part of the fishermen, mostly from Maasim, who were lost at sea following a storm surge Tuesday dawn.
Search and rescue teams from the Maasim Municipal DRRM, the Philippine Coast Guard and the Philippine Navy as well as local banca operators in the area continue to scour Sarangani Bay and the area surrounding Balut Island for survivors.
The number of casualties from the June 12 flash flood and storm surge remain at two.
Capt. George Ursabia, commander of Coast Guard District South Eastern Mindanao (CGDSEM), told the PDRRMO during the incident assessment that three was no storm on June 12 but just sudden change of weather and sea conditions due to the shallow LPA 100 km south of Mindanao at the time that apparently induced the southwest monsoon.
It was so sudden that the change of sea condition was so abrupt, from calm to rough, with a wind of approximately 40 knots, he said.
The situation began around 1:00 a.m., Tuesday and lasted for more or less 25 hours until early dawn Wednesday.
Most of the fishermen were out at sea as early as in the evening of 11 June when the sea and weather were normal, not expecting such unusual change (of weather and sea conditions) as there were no signs of such in a progressive manner, he said. They were caught off-guard.
Meanwhile, Glans Municipal DRRMO also raised yesterday afternoon the total number of families affected by the June 12 flash flood to 765 families with 3,825 dependents.
The number of worst-hit barangays had also been raised to four with the addition of Baragay Laguimit. Initially, the villages of Pangyan, Cross, and Big Margus were identified as the most affected areas. The flood also hit 16 other barangays.
Yesterday morning, Glan Mayor Victor James Yap Sr. led a convoy of medical team, government employees, and trucks loaded with rice for distribution to the affected barangays.
The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD)12 also released a truckload of family food packs along with UNICEF-donated tarpaulins that could be made into tents and bedsheets.
Yap has also asked the the Government Security and Insurance System (GSIS) to grant all GSIS members in Sarangani financial assistance under the GSIS calamity fund.
In a letter sent to GSIS Manager Maria Cecilia Vega yesterday, the local chief executive cited the tornado and flash floods that struck 20 barangays in the municipality as primary reason of the request. (DED-PIA 12)

The case of the English-speaking boy who wandered from the woods nine months ago into Berlin has stumped the police.
On Wednesday, Berlin police released photos of the teenage boy in hopes that someone would recognize him and help identify him, the Associated Press reported.
The boy, who only remembers his father calling him by the name “Ray” said he lived for five years with his father in the woods after the death of his mother in a car accident, the AP said.
Police spokesman Thomas Neuendorf said, “We have checked his DNA against all missing person reports, sent the data to Interpol so that they could check it internationally, but unfortunately without any success,” since Sept. 5 of last year. – globalpost.com
Berlin police said Friday that an English-speaking teenage boy allegedly called Ray who wandered into the city nine months ago saying he had been living in the forest for the last five years has been spinning a yarn.

Belgium Saturday heightened the country’s terror alert level from two to three across Brussels.
The move followed Friday night’s stabbing of two police officers on a Brussels metro station, Belgian media reported.
Last week protestors attacked a police station in the Brussels municipality of Molenbeek after the arrest of a burqa-clad woman.
According to the media reports, a “Muslim extremist” attacked two police officers on the metro.
One of the victims, a Muslim police officer, is still in hospital after suffering internal bleeding.
The attacker reportedly told police that he wanted to protest against Belgian policy towards Muslims.
Earlier in the week the spokesman of a group calling itself “Sharia4Belgium” was arrested.
He faces charges of incitement to violence.
The spokesman Fouad Belkacem distributed a video about the woman who was arrested in Molenbeek for wearing the burqa which is banned under Belgian law.
Meanwhile, Belgian Prime Minister, Elio Di Rupo, has invited the mayors of Belgium’s 15 biggest cities to talks to discuss “Muslim extremism”, noted the media reports.
The Prime Minister wants to make it clear that the government intends to step up the fight against Muslim fundamentalism. Meanwhile at a meeting in Molenbeek, representatives of Muslim community met to distance themselves from the violence.

(Image: wikimedia.org) Takhar Province (Click image for source)
Officials said they have arrested 11 suspects, including the Pakistani lady doctor, identified as Gulnaz, on charges of involvement in poisoning the students.
Gulnaz is said to belong to Punjab province. According to reports Gulnaz was working at a health clinic in Rustaq district, but did not have the required medical certificates.
She also did not have the documents required for a foreign doctor to work in Afghanistan.
In the meantime a provincial media representative speaking on the condition of anonymity said some suspects had been arrested in connection with the case.
He said the detained suspects also included a Pakistani woman doctor identified as Gulnaz and belonging to Punjab province.
�Yes, the authorities concerned are grilling Gulnaz but there is no proof of her involvement in the matter thus far,� he said adding that Gulnaz was working at a health clinic in Rustaq district in Takhar province.
She did not have the required medical certificates. He said Gulnaz also didn�t have the documents required for a foreign doctor to work in Afghanistan.
Parents are being warned about the importance of protecting their children against measles following an outbreak of the infectious disease in County Cork.
The Public Health Agency (PHA) is urging families to get their children fully immunised with two doses of MMR before travelling to the south of Ireland or to other European countries during the summer months.
The warning came after 51 children were diagnosed with measles in west Cork. Two of them were admitted to hospital for further treatment.
Most of the infected children are teenagers and 88% of them had never received any dose of MMR vaccine. Although measles can occur at any age, it is most common in children.
However, the disease is life threatening at any age.
Measles can be caught either through direct contact with an infected person, or through the air when the patient coughs or sneezes. Dr Gerry Waldron is Acting Assistant Director of Public Health (Health Protection) with the PHA.
He says it is never too late to get immunised.
“If children are not vaccinated they are left exposed to a serious and potentially fatal disease.
“MMR immunisation is the safest and most effective way to prevent measles infection and it is never too late to get vaccinated.”
Northern Ireland has high uptake levels for MMR, Dr Waldron said, before adding that this was a great tribute to the medical staff involved in the immunisation programme and also parents.
“MMR uptake rates are very high – just over 93% of children have received it by the age of two and by five years of age,” he said.

The crew on board the 22 Squadron RAF Valley Sea King hovered in thick cloud to rescue the 47-year-old man, who was suffering epileptic fits at the 3,560ft summit of Snowdon yesterday.
At one point they had to abort when the ground was no longer visible because of the cloud.
They “hover-taxied” along a ridge for 300 yards, barely able to see more than a few yards, and close to the summit a winchman was lowered to the man, who was being tended by two other walkers.
But a thick curtain of cloud quickly descended on the area, making it too dangerous to winch the sick man onboard.
He was carried on a stretcher to the Clogwyn station, about halfway down the mountain, where he was able to be winched to safety and flown to Ysbyty Gwynedd.
Rescue co-ordinator Elfyn Jones, of Llanberis Mountain Rescue Team said: “The helicopter did…

On Tuesday night, thousands of Iranians looked up at the sky in the hopes of seeing the Pepsi logo appear on the moon.
In the past few days, rumors had swelled on Iranian websites and social networks, saying that Pepsi Co. was going to shoot powerful lasers at the moon to display the brands colors on its surface. Some took this as a joke; others believed it. Either way, many went up on their roofs to inspect the moon at the announced time. France24 Observers in Tehran tell more.

The bus (number JK12 2193) was on its way from Udhampur to Katra. Reports said the driver failed to maneuver a turn near Panthel and the vehicle fell into a gorge.
The victims have been identified as Vijay Kumar, 51 (son of Tara Chand, resident of Katra), Devi Dass, 42 (son of Sidhu Ram, resident of Himachal Pradesh), Devinder Kumar, 26 (son of Sohan Lal, resident of Doda), Varsha Rajan, 24 (wife of VP Rajan) and Deepika Rajan, 4, (daughter of VP Rajan).
At least 25 injured passengers are undergoing treatment at Emergency Hospital, Katra.
Those critically injured have been shifted to the Government Medical College, Jammu. Jagjit Singh, DIG, Udhampur-Reasi range, is supervising the rescue work. – mhone.in
N. N. Vohra, Governor, has expressed serious concern and sympathy with all those who were injured in a major bus accident at Moori, near Katra, today and prayed for their speedy recovery.
The Governor, who is Chairman of the Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Board, has directed Dr. Mandeep K. Bhandari, Additional Chief Executive Officer of the Shrine Board, to provide medical and other required support to all those injured in this unfortunate accident. – dailykashmirimages.com
The State Times said that the driver and the cleaner fled from the spot.
The locals joined the police in rescue and relief operations. The injured have been shifted to Government Medical College Hospital, Jammu.
This is the second road mishap involving Vaishno Devi pilgrims.
On 9th May, 32 persons were injured when a bus they were travelling in had turned turtle at Moori area of Katra this evening.
The bus (UP86T-0824) carrying pilgrims of Mata Vaishno Devi, was on its way from Katra to Jammu when it met with the mishap at Moori area. Nine of the seriously injured passengers were referred to Government Medical College and Hospital Jammu for advanced treatment.
The accidents on the National Highway have touched alarming proportions in the recent years. The Doda-Ramban belt has been the worst sufferer. To suggest effective measures for checking road mishaps, a panel of the State Legislature had been constituted. The panel held several rounds of discussions and visited various places in the erstwhile district to talk to various stake holders.
While most of the accidents have taken place due to rash and negligent driving, the lack of effective monitoring too has been one of the reasons behind accidents. In one of the accidents last month, a Sumo carrying double than its capacity passengers fell into a gorge in which 13 persons, including six children were killed. – statetimes.in
A section of a five-story apartment building collapsed in western Ukraine early Sunday, killing two people and
injuring one, officials said.
(Photo: Ukraine Emergency Situations Ministry)
Emergency workers helped 18 other residents, including a 4-year-old child, climb down from the balconies of eight apartments on the undamaged side of the building.
Other residents who escaped the disaster were being fed at a soup kitchen set up at the site by the emergency workers and many were being taken to a city hotel for lodging.
The cause of the disaster was not immediately known, but Ukraine’s Channel 5 TV said authorities suspect unauthorized repair work being done in the building’s basement.
Buildings frequently collapse in Ukraine, where infrastructure is outdated and safety rules are often neglected.
Sunday’s disaster occurred at about 4 a.m. in the western city of Lutsk, 150 kilometers (90 miles) north of Lviv city, which is currently co-hosting the European football championship.
The Emergency Situations Ministry said the kitchens and living rooms of apartments were destroyed when the load-bearing structure running through them collapsed.
Yekaterina Nakonechnaya, a resident whose husband was killed, said she and her daughter were talking in their apartment when they saw sand running out from beneath wallpaper. “I said: ‘Our flat is so old, it seems like mice are already living here.’ And as I was saying this, bang and that was it.” She said she survived in a corridor of the apartment and her daughter in the bedroom.
Television footage showed a giant gaping space in the gray building, which was constructed in 1971. Lutsk Mayor Mykola Romanyuk said the disaster could have been much deadlier if the bedrooms also had collapsed.

Flash flooding has hit a dozen properties in two villages near York, following torrential rain yesterday afternoon.
(Photo: yorkpress.co.uk) Firefighters pump water away from houses at Flaxton (Click image for source)
Five homes and a kitchen manufacturing business were inundated at Flaxton, while another six properties were flooded in Sandy Lane, Stockton-on-the-Forest.
Huge traffic jams also built up on the A64 between York and Malton because of flooding.
Flaxton resident Mark O’Brien said he drove back home through a huge hail storm. “The noise was unbelievable, he said. It was so loud in the car that we couldn’t talk to each other.” He said the flood waters rose to within inches of the floorboards at his home in Main Street.
A rain gauge kept by residents John and Sarah Jackson indicated that more than two inches of rain had fallen in the village. Mrs Jackson said: “The whole ground went white with the ice from the hail storm. I have lived here for 17 years and have never, ever experienced anything like this. There was thunder and lightning for over an hour.”
Fire station officer David Watson said the sheer volume of rainfall had been too much for the drains to cope with. He said firefighters using pumps had prevented more properties from being flooded.
Richard James Handmade Kitchens’ premises near the railway level crossing in Flaxton, were flooded to a depth of about two feet after a nearby beck burst its banks.
Proprietor Richard Patterson said about 100,000 worth of machinery was affected by flooding, along with bespoke furniture that was in the process of being manufactured. He said he would have to wait for the flood waters to recede before he could access the extent of the damage. He pledged to get the business reopened as quickly as possible,adding: “You can’t let the customers down.”

A passenger bus carrying mostly students fell off a narrow mountain road in western Bolivia on Thursday, killing eighteen people and injuring many more, local authorities said on Saturday. The road is often referred to as the world’s most dangerous.
The accident happened at around 3:30 p.m. local time on Thursday in La Paz province on the North Yungas Road, which is better known as the ‘Highway of Death’. The bus was traveling from the town of Irupana to the capital La Paz to participate in an inter-school sporting evening
A list of casualties released on Saturday showed eighteen people were killed, including 25-year-old bus driver Miguel Aliaga, 24-year-old support bus driver Cruz Aliaga Benique and at least four teenagers. Another 33 people aged between 2 and 51 were injured, some critically.
Police said the accident happened on a narrow dirt road when the passenger bus, which was operated by Trans Arenas and was also carrying regular passengers, suddenly tried to avoid an oncoming taxi. “A taxi came in front of us and our bus gave way, but it seems it went too far to the edge and fell,” one of the injured victims told local media.
Photos and videos from the scene showed most of the vehicle, which fell some 150 meters (490 feet), was destroyed and several bodies could be seen around the wreckage. Officials said many of the passengers were ejected from the vehicle while others were crushed by the bus, which was carrying around 60 people.
The North Yungas Road, more than 40 miles (65 kilometers) long, is infamously known as one of the most dangerous roads in the world due to its narrow dirt roads. The road, which is a major route for trucks and buses, is just three meters (9.8 feet) wide in many places. Many vehicles fall off the edge when attempting to overtake oncoming vehicles.
According to official figures, at least 42 people were killed on the road in 2011, but it is believed the actual figure is in the hundreds. Emergency services do usually not respond to accidents along the road unless it involves many casualties, and even then they are slow to respond as mobile phones do not work in the area. – Blottr

At least 16 people were killed and 32 others injured when a bus plunged into a ravine on the highway that links La Paz to Bolivias northern Amazon region, police and medical personnel said.
The accident happened on Thursday afternoon near Unduavi, a town about 46 kilometers (28 miles) from La Paz, when the bus went off the road and fell 120 meters (393 feet) to the bottom of the ravine, highway patrol chief Victorino Torrez told reporters.
We have more than 16 dead, the highway patrol and the Bersa rescue team are working to recover the bodies, Torrez said.
La Pazs Arco Iris Hospital received 32 accident victims, with several listed in critical condition, hospital spokesman Dr. Fernando Arispe said.
The bus was carrying a group of students from Chicaloma, a town in Sud Yungas province, who were going to take part in a sports event in La Paz.
The government has been trying for years to reduce the number of traffic accidents in Bolivia.
President Evo Moraless administration enacted a law in January 2010 that cracked down on bus drivers caught working drunk, inexperienced drivers and drivers who work excessive hours.
The measures goal is to reduce accidents, which kill an average of 1,000 people annually, according to International Automobile Federation figures, in this Andean nation. – hispanicallyspeakingnews.com
At least 16 youngsters were killed and 32 injured when their bus plunged into a 400ft ravine north of Bolivia’s capital La Paz on the way to a school sports event.
Transit police chief Victorino Torres said the death toll could rise because rescuers were still searching the wreckage in the Acero Marka district.
Mr Torres said the students were aged 16-18 and were travelling to La Paz to compete in an inter-school sports competition.
He did not say what caused the accident, but survivors said the driver tried to let another bus pass on the narrow road, then went into the ravine.
Hospital official Fernando Arispe said some of the 32 injured were in a “very serious” condition. – Virgin Media
A bus crashed in Bolivia, killing 18 people and injuring 41 others, officials said.
The accident happened around 3 p.m. Thursday near Unduavi, El Diario, of La Paz, Bolivia, reported.
The bus, owned by Eugene Arenas Aliaga Irupana, was heading to Entre Rios when it veered off the road and plunged 393 feet off a cliff, making it difficult for rescuers to reach the occupants immediately, the report said.
What caused the bus to veer off the road was not reported.
Many of the 18 who died were young people between the ages of 15 and 17 from the Education Unit of Chicaloma, officials said,
Those injured were brought to a hospital where doctors said at least two were in critical condition. – UPI
