MADRID - Firefighters in Spain on Tuesday found the body of a driver whose car was swept away by flash flooding caused by intense and sudden downpours, authorities in northern Spain said. The Monday evening rainfall, at times accompanied by hail, led to road closures and power cuts in various parts of Spain. In the northern town of Tafalla it caused the overflowing of two local rivers. Social media video shared by the regional police and other users showed how strong currents dragged vehicles and trash containers. In nearby Pamplona, a Monday evening bullfight during the city’s famous San Fermin festival had to be suspended because of the rain.
