In southern Germany, as a result of large-scale floods, the death toll has risen to five people. Rescuers found an almost flooded car and took out the body of a woman. This is reported by AP, writes UNN.
Details
Police on Tuesday reported that the body of a woman was recovered from a car that sank during a flood in Bavaria, bringing the confirmed death toll from flooding in southern Germany to five.
The bodies of four other people who died during the flood were found on Sunday and Monday.
Police said the fifth victim was found on Tuesday in the small town of Markt Rettenbach. And they added that the driver of the car, apparently, ignored the barrier that blocked the flooded road.
It is noted that although the situation has eased in the south-west of Germany, the water level remains high in some parts of Bavaria, in particular, in the Danube basin and in the Rosenheim region in the South-East. Some major railway lines, including several leading to Munich, are still blocked.
Recall
As previously reported by UNN, on June 1, a state of emergency was declared in several areas of Bavaria due to the high water level in the rivers. Evacuation began in several localities, and at least 150 people left their homes.
