Deadly flooding hits Sardinia

Reading Time: < 1 minute

At least three people have been killed on the Italian island of Sardinia after flooding caused by heavy rains.

Italian media say the three who have died there include an older man who drowned at home and a man killed in his vehicle.

Strong winds and rain have battered the island since Friday, cutting off power and forcing some people to evacuate.

There are also fears of flooding in the nearby towns of Torpè and Galtellì with further rains expected on Saturday.

Emergency services have moved some 150 residents of Galtellì to municipal facilities.
