A young girl has died in Spain following a hailstone storm in the northeast of the country which was described as ‘ten minutes of terror,’ according to local officials.
Speaking to radio RAC1, Carme Vall, a city councillor in the Catalan town of La Bisbal de l'Emporda, said a 20-month-old was reportedly struck in the head by a hailstone and “she did not survive.”
The balls of hail falling from the sky were up to 11 centimetres wide and caused destruction across the area to cars and buildings.
