Mother dies after being swept away by a flooded stream in Spain as her husband saves their young daughter

The woman, in her 40s and from Malgrat de Mar, was trying to cross the swollen waterway on foot with her daughter in Cabrera de Mar, near Barcelona, at about 7.30pm on Saturday. The family had spent the evening playing basketball and were heading back to their car. Six firefighter units, police divers and drones joined the search. Storm Adam has since swamped Ibiza airport.

Mayor Oscar Fernandez said the water was 'surging with great force' after the heavy rain.

Flights to Ibiza, including from London and Bristol, were diverted to Alicante and Majorca.

Forecaster Aemet warned: 'The meteorological danger is extraordinary.'
