Foreigner dies after getting trapped in Aklan flood

A foreigner died on Wednesday after he was trapped inside his car that was submerged in waist-deep floodwater in Numancia, Aklan.

According to a Balitanghali report, victim James Russell Landstrom succumbed to a heart attack.

Meanwhile, residents and even animals in coastal areas in Kalibo were forced to evacuate due to the heavy rains brought by Tropical Storm Agaton.

Some tourists who were supposed to go to Boracay were also stranded at Kalibo International Airport.

Agaton left the Philippine Area of Responsibility on Wednesday afternoon. — Anna Felicia Bajo/BM, GMA News
