Strong earthquake rocks Chile

A strong magnitude-6.7 earthquake has shaken central Chile, prompting officials to order a preventative evacuation of a stretch of coastline and causing hundreds of people in the capital to flee buildings in panic.

There were no reports of major damage, but authorities in the port city of Valparaiso said a 72-year-old man died of a heart attack during the quake. The earthquake was felt for almost a minute in Valparaiso and the capital, Santiago.
