Two killed and 14 missing as Hurricane Barbara batters Mexico with 60mph winds and intense rainfall

Two men have been killed after Hurricane Barbara hit Mexico's southern Pacific coast yesterday, flooding roads and toppling trees before weakening to a tropical storm as it spread inland. There were reports of 60mph winds and intense rainfall battering the coast, which prompted authorities to erect shelters and suspend schools as it tried to deal with the storm. Local emergency services said a 61-year-old U.S male surfer drowned during the storm. A 26-year-old Mexican man was killed as he tried to cross a river.
