The mangled car in which Jorge Tarazona’s three-year-old niece and sister-in-law perished in last week’s catastrophic flooding in Spain now hangs halfway off the ragged edge of a highway.
His brother managed to survive, clinging to a fence. He and his family had been caught in traffic driving home to Paiporta on Valencia’s southern outskirts, Tarazona said. They had no chance to escape when the tsunami-like wave quickly overflowed the nearby drainage canal and swept away everything in its path.
