Rescue services have had to use helicopters to lift people from houses and cars amid the rapidly rising waters.
Several people have been reported missing after flash floods struck Spain, sweeping cars through the streets. Shocking images and videos have emerged from eastern and southern parts of Spain, showing heavy rainfall turning once-busy roads into muddy rivers. Flooding caused havoc, running from the provinces of Malaga in the south to Valencia in the east. Videos shared by Spanish broadcasters showed floodwater rising into the lower levels of homes and even carrying cars through the street.
One truck driver was missing in L'Alcudia, Valencia, according to Spanish news agency EFE. Also in Valencia, the mayor of Utiel, Ricardo Gabaldon, told RTVE that several people were trapped in their homes. In Letur, near the Sierra de Segura, thirty people were trapped after the river running through the town burst its banks. In some places, rescue services used helicopters to lift people from houses and cars to safety.
