CORFU. One person lost his life in the heavy downpour that hit Corfu on Saturday night.

According to police sources, 57-year-old Giorgos Koulourias was driving with his wife and two children when their car was carried away by a torrent in the Perivoli district (near Santa Barbara) and overturned. The three passengers were able to get out of the car, but not the driver. This is the first information available – the exact conditions and causes of the accident are still being investigated.

The damage left behind by a tornado in the same area is also being investigated. There is widespread damage, according to the Fire Service, who have received countless calls requesting help with fallen trees, subsidence and flooding.
