HAIKOU -- A small reservoir collapsed at about 10 p.m. Friday in Xinglong Town of Wanning City, southernmost China's Hainan Province, with ensuing floods bursting a sideline road toward the province's eastern expressway and lashing two cars away, the city government confirmed Saturday.
Three people inside the two cars, who fell into the water in the accident, have been hospitalized. No death has been reported.
The city's government official Chen Xingzhang said the local power supply company had dispatched 30 people, together with about 200 others, for the rescue operation.
The expressway's Xinglong section has been blocked.
The Bofeng reservoir has a water storage capacity of 100,000 cubic meters.
The cause of the accident is being investigated.
