Fifteen Chinese workers were killed when storage shelves stacked high with garlic collapsed in central China.

Some 34 workers were buried by tons of garlic after 10-metre (30-foot) high shelving broke at Chenzhai Cold Storage in Zhengzhou City, Henan province.
Xinhua news agency said a major rescue operation was launched - with 15 bodies recovered and 19 people pulled out alive and taken to hospitals.

The owner of the cold storage warehouse is being held by police, said Xinhua.
