North-eastern Spain hit by barrage of large hailstones

The hail storm killed a 20-month-old girl after it struck her head in La Bisbal d’Empordà, a town 130km north of Barcelona. The Catalan regional president, Pere Aragonès, thanked the emergency services for their efforts and sent his condolences to the family of the baby.

Cars, houses, and tore down electricity lines have also been damaged.
