TEGUCIGALPA (Reuters) - Slow-moving Tropical Depression Sara unleashed major rainfall over Honduras this weekend, causing at least one death while forcing thousands to flee their homes and destroying bridges and a highway due to flooding, officials said on Sunday.

Slow-moving Tropical Depression Sara headed on to Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula after unleashing widespread floods over Honduras and Belize that killed at least one person and forced thousands to flee, officials said on Sunday.

Sara weakened after hitting Central America with overwhelming rains and flooding. The storm's remnants could soak the Southeast.
