KIFI

ISLAMABAD (AP) — Police say a family of seven, including two children, died when their car fell into a river amid heavy rains in the suburbs of Pakistan’s capital. Officer Ali Raza said the family was returning home early Saturday after attending a wedding ceremony in a nearby village. He said the driver apparently failed to realize he was driving off the road and the car fell into the water after hitting a fence on a small bridge spanning the river. Raza said the car sank in the river’s waters and people only saw it in the morning when the water receded. The victims included four women, two children and a man.
