At least two dead in California quake

At least two people were killed when an earthquake rocked California’s central coast and shook the state from Los Angeles to San Francisco.

The quake, measuring 6.5 on the Richter Scale, collapsed a clock tower roof into the street of the small town of Paso Robles, crushing a row of parked cars. More than 40 other buildings were damaged in the town around 20 miles east of the epicentre.
