Flash floods swept away a car carrying a family of five in the Bghaghza commune in Morocco’s Tetouan province late Saturday and into Sunday morning, triggering a major search-and-rescue operation, authorities said.
The vehicle was caught while attempting to cross a road section running alongside a wadi that experienced a sudden surge in water levels following heavy rainfall, according to local Hespress AR sources. The car was dragged away by the strong current and disappeared from view.
Civil protection teams, supported by local authorities and the Royal Gendarmerie, recovered the bodies of two children, the sources said. Search operations remain underway to locate the remaining family members, who are still missing amid difficult field conditions and fast-flowing waters.
Tetouan’s provincial governor visited the site to oversee rescue efforts, with additional teams and equipment deployed to expand search operations along the riverbed and surrounding areas.
