The death toll from a flash
flood that hit hikers in a mountain-river canyon in Calabria
Monday rose to 10 Tuesday as one of those injured died in
hospital, with three hikers still missing.
The victim died because of a chest trauma in Cosenza
hospital, local sources said.
He had been gravely injured in the flood that swept away a
group of hikers in the Pollino National Park.
A search is on for the three missing hikers, police sources
said Tuesday.
Carabinieri said three mountain rescue teams from Umbria,
Campania and Basilicata were taking part in the search.
