EYE WITNESS, ZHANG FENG, SAYING: "They drove down there at 8 o'clock this morning on their way to work, and then the water came and it was too late.''

This man has a close call but all five make it safely to the river bank. Summer flooding is common in southern China, sometimes killing hundreds of mostly rural residents.
