The heavy rainfall on Tuesday caused the Matai’an Creek Barrier Lake to overflow, sending torrents of water into Guangfu Township in Hualien County, inundating streets nearly one story high, and carrying away vehicles, according to the Central News Agency.

Sections of the Matai’an River Bridge were also washed away.

Rescue teams are struggling to locate the 17 missing people.

So far, 32 people have been injured due to rain- and flood-related incidents.

Authorities also evacuated more than 3,000 people to a safe location from Guangfu, Fenglin, and Wanrong townships.

Emergency officials warned the number of casualties could rise as assessments and searches for missing people continue.
