Bad weather claims another victim in the Catania area. A 53-year-old (and not a young girl as learned at first) drowned in Gravina di Catania, overwhelmed by a swollen river due to the storm that hit eastern Sicily.
According to an initial reconstruction, he was in a car, but was surprised by the flood. He managed to get out of the cockpit, but was carried away by the current, which left him no way out.
Firefighters, municipal police and 118 personnel intervened on the spot.
Two days ago, still in the Catania area, in Scordia, two people, a 67-year-old husband and wife , were inexorably overwhelmed by a river of water and mud.
