Helicopters, rescuers scour creek bed after Italy flash flood kills 10

Firefighters and emergency workers on Tuesday combed the creek bed downstream from a gorge where sudden heavy rain created a wall of water that swept away tourists on Monday in the southern Italy region of Calabria, killing at least 10 people.

Twenty-three people were rescued after being caught by the rush of water, rocks and mud, and about a dozen were being treated in local hospitals, the civil protection agency said.
