Valencia: A former player of La Liga club Valencia was among the dead in a flash flood in Spain. Midfielder Jose Castillejo (28), who was part of the youth club, died.
The player reaches professional football through the Valencia U-18 team. The player has also played for second division clubs such as Torre Levanre, Paterna, Eldens, Bunol, Recambios Colón and CD Roda. Valencia mourned the death of the star. In the eastern region of Valencia, the death toll from lightning floods has exceeded 158.
Many people are reported to be involved in many places. The number of people missing has not been confirmed. Rescue work is going on in the area. Spain was hit by the biggest flood the country has seen in five centuries. ‘So sorry for the death of Castillejo. He was a star on the club’s youth team. He has also played for different clubs in Valencia’ – said Valencia in a condolence note.
The Elden club also accepted the death of the star. The player played for the club in the 2015-16 season. Saturday’s La Liga match between Real Madrid and Valencia was called off due to flooding. La Liga-led clubs have started raising money to help flood victims. A year’s worth of rain fell in the Valencia region in eight hours.
High-speed train services between the city of Valencia and Madrid have been suspended for 15 days. Bridges have collapsed and roads have become unrecognizable. This has a negative impact on rescue operations. Spain’s Minister of Transport, Oscar Puenra, said that the routes connecting Madrid and Valencia could be useless for up to three weeks due to the extent of the damage.
Two tunnels fell on the same route, Chiva and Torrent. He said that the railways must be completely replaced. Three of the five tracks have disappeared. About 80 km of railway lines were completely destroyed.
