Rains have caused problems in Montserrat and two people have disappeared in Barcelona

A witness called the emergency services this afternoon in Sant Quinti de Mediona to warn that the river water was dragging a car and two people were driving inside, and hours later they found the car but there was no one inside.

18:00 - 20:00

The heavy rains this Sunday in Catalonia have collapsed access and services to the Montserrat Massif and forced the rescue of 27 people from the funicular, where more than 100 litres per square metre have fallen. In addition, two people have disappeared this afternoon after the river dragged their car along the bank of Sant Quinti de Mediona (Barcelona).

Heavy rains have forced the closure of some roads, such as the C-58, delays and cancellations at El Prat airport, and damage to some railway lines.

The most serious incident was in Barcelona, where firefighters from the Generalitat de Catalunya are looking for two people on the banks of Sant Quinti de Mediona after their car was dragged by the water. 



Around 6:30 p.m. a witness called the emergency services to warn that a car was being dragged by the water and that two people were travelling inside.

19 Fire Department personnel have come to the scene and found the car early in the night, but there was no one inside. The search continues. The crews, with divers, drones and dogs and until dark, have also operated a propeller. 

The floods in the Penedès region of Barcelona have caused a sudden flood this afternoon, which has caused more than 100 litres per square metre in some parts of the Barcelona capital.
