Several cars are trapped in a landslide in Queralbs

Several cars have been trapped in a landslide in Queralbs (Girona) caused by the heavy rains recorded this Saturday afternoon, although no injuries were reported.

The Generalitat Fire Department received the notice at around 5:10 p.m. and mobilized a total of five ground crews and a helicopter, they reported in a message on their Twitter account.

Meteocat has issued an alert for this afternoon due to violent weather in the Ripollès regions -where Queralbs is- and La Cerdanya, with the risk of strong winds, rain and hail.

In some municipalities, stone falls of more than 2 centimeters in diameter have been recorded, such as in Camprodon, Manlleu and Roda de Ter.

In addition, the Firefighters have removed a fallen tree on the N-260 near Ribes de Freser, and another on the GIV-4011 road, for which they have mobilized two crews.
