Six killed in floods as muddy torrent sweeps through the streets of an Italian city

A mother and her two young daughters were among six people who drowned after torrential rain brought severe flash flooding to the Italian city of Genoa.

The woman was swept to her death along with her 11-month-old baby and eight-year-old daughter as neighbours frantically tried to save them from the raging waters that had engulfed streets and turned them into rivers.

Another woman died after she was torn off her scooter as she went to pick her brother up from school while officials said others were died after being swept away and crushed by cars which had been picked up and carried along by the water.
