Flash Flood in Spain Kills At Least One, Injures Dozens

Torrential rains caused a flash flood that swept through a town in southern Spain on Saturday, killing at least one person and injuring dozens more.

The floodwaters hit the town of Almeria around 8 p.m. local time, carrying away cars and debris. Rescuers worked through the night to search for survivors, and the death toll is expected to rise.

The heavy rains were caused by a storm that has been battering Spain for several days. The storm has also caused flooding in other parts of the country, but the situation in Almeria is the most severe.

The Spanish government has declared a state of emergency in the affected areas. The Red Cross and other aid organizations are providing assistance to the victims.
