(The Sun) A British couple are among eight people killed in “biblical” flash flooding that tore through the Spanish island of Majorca overnight. Shocking images and videos show cars being swept through city streets and homes submerged as authorities today said they feared the death toll could rise to 14. The two Brits were described as a couple caught in a flash flood in the town of Sant Llorenc – where the Love Island villa is

A spokeswoman for a local emergency services coordinator confirmed: “The British victims were traveling in a taxi that was swept away by flash floods. “Their bodies were found inside the vehicle.” It is not yet known if the Brits were tourists or expats. The Foreign Office today said they were “urgently seeking updates” from Spanish authorities after news of their deaths broke this morning. READ MORE
