At least four people are missing after torrential rains and flooding hit southern and eastern Spain, where roads have been closed and expressways disrupted, authorities said.
The waters engulfed the town of Letur, in the Albacete region, sweeping away cars, according to footage broadcast by Spanish television. Mayor Sergio Marin Sanchez said rescue services were looking for “three or four people” who were missing.
“Some (of the missing) were in a car, others were at home,” he said, noting that he had no other information.
Police in the city of Alcudia, in the region of Valencia, said they were looking for the driver of a truck that went missing in the early afternoon.
Due to the bad weather and its consequences, the national railway company Adif suspended high-speed train services between Madrid and Valencia. One such high-speed train, with 276 passengers, derailed in the region of Andalusia, but no one was injured.
Rescue services even airlifted dozens of people from Alora, Andalusia, after a river overflowed its banks.
