Man's body found inside car in flooded tunnel 

The body of a man has been found inside a car in a flooded section of the Ronda Nord tunnel (C-352) in Les Franqueses del Vallès, close to Granollers.

The body was discovered by one of the companies carrying out water-pumping operations in the area.

The man has yet to be formally identified.

Catalan firefighters carried out 45 rescues during the latest spell of heavy rain, including people trapped in vehicles stuck in mud or in lifts, between Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday morning.

Two men died on Sunday during an earlier spell of heavy rain: one in Tordera after a wall collapsed at a mobile-home site, and another in Montornès del Vallès, where his body was found in a flooded garage.

A young man also went missing that day after apparently being swept away by the swollen Riera de Pineda in Pineda de Mar.
