Flash flood chaos in Spanish holiday hotspot as people washed away and cars submerged Flash floods have hit the southern city of Jaen, Spain, following torrential downpours - with pedestrians knocked to the ground, cars submerged and roads turned to rivers Roads have been turned into rivers in an incredible storm in a Spanish holiday hotspot, leaving cars submerged as footage showed pedestrians being knocked over on washed down streets. Drivers also found themselves being overtaken by wheelie bins floating in raging torrents of water as downpours hit the southern city of Jaen last night. Locals and holidaymakers were then struck by a hailstorm. Footage showed people shouting for help as the cascading water knocked them off their feet and prevented them from getting back up. The storm, which only lasted around 20 minutes, sparked major chaos across the city and surrounding areas. Police and fire crews received 110 calls about flooding in garages and basements. One man was pictured being carried down a city street past a parked car with its windscreen wipers at full speed. The ferocious storm lifted up paving stones and left café and bar terraces, where people had been enjoying the sunshine yesterday, submerged. It was not immediately clear this morning if anyone had been injured.
