Swollen rivers have burst their banks in north and northeastern Spain, causing the death of at least one person
MADRID -- Swollen rivers burst their banks in north and northeastern Spain, with the flooding blamed Sunday for the death of at least one person.
Emergency services said they retrieved the body of a 61-year-old man from inside the cab of his submerged van in a river in the Navarra region.
The man was reported missing on Friday and his vehicle was spotted the following day, but the fast-flowing river made a rescue operation impossible, officials said.
The combination of a heavy, dayslong storm and thawing snow brought a surge in the River Ebro and its tributaries, Spanish meteorological services said.
