Rescuers believed they have found the body of a 52-year-old woman who was swept away by flash floods while hiking along Wang Chung Stream in Pat Sin Leng Country Park, off Bride’s Pool Road in Tai Po. It is understood the woman’s body was found at around 9am this morning, and will be airlifted by Government Flying Service helicopters for further inspections. Police, firemen and Government Flying Service helicopters were deployed as Fire Services Department divers scoured the gully's lower stream. The woman, who has a son and a daughter, works in a hardware company as a clerk, according to sources. The accident happened nearly two hours after the observatory issued the second red rainstorm warning signal of the year at 10.45am.
