South Korean rescuers pulled nine bodies from a flooded tunnel on Sunday, where 15 vehicles were trapped in muddy water, as days of heavy rain triggered flash floods and landslides.

A total of 37 people have died and thousands have been evacuated since July 9, when heavy rain began pounding South Korea’s central regions.

Nearly 900 rescuers, including divers, were searching the tunnel in the central city of Cheongju. Around 15 vehicles, including a bus, were submerged in the underpass.

Fire officials estimated the tunnel had filled with water in as little as two to three minutes. It’s unclear how many people remain missing.
