The father and two children were still missing but the mother, 40, who was also in the car, was found by rescuers and taken to hospital, it said. One of the two passengers aboard managed to escape and was later found clinging to a tree for more than two hours before being rescued, the prefecture told AFP.
The search was called off as night fell on Sunday “because the water flow made the situation extremely dangerous”, regional firefighting official Thierry Carret said, adding the search would resume Monday.
