Woman dies after being swept away by river as torrential rains batter Spain
Firefighters and police searched overnight as torrential rain across Catalonia left five people dead in 15 days, authorities said.
- Authorities recovered the body of a 35-year-old woman in the port of Premià de Mar on Sunday morning after she was swept into a swollen stream in Cabrera de Mar on Saturday evening.
- Heavy rainfall in the Maresme region of Catalonia transformed a normally small watercourse into a dangerously fast-flowing torrent; the woman's family attempted to cross it on foot during the 17th evening.
- While her partner managed to save their child, the woman was swept away by the powerful current. Firefighters, Mossos d'Esquadra, and Maritime Rescue teams mobilized six units to search throughout the night.
- This incident adds to severe storm impacts across Spain; recent deaths include a 75-year-old man in Tordera and a 12-year-old boy Rami found in Sitges.
- Emergency officials continue to warn residents against crossing flooded streams, with red alerts currently in place for the south coast of Valencia and north of Alicante.
