Flash flooding kills 14 in Istanbul
Flash floods gushed across an Istanbul arterial road on Wednesday, killing 14 people and stranding dozens of vehicles, local media reports said. As waters rose more than a metre high in the city's Ikitelli district, motorists climbed on roofs of their vehicles waiting to be rescued. The floods occurred in the early hours as people began making their way to work, washing over a main road linking the city to an industrial area, an airport and a highway to Greece.
CNN-Turk television said seven other bodies were recovered at a gas station in Halkali.
