A HAILSTORM brought a Spanish town to a complete standstill and trapping many in their cars.
The short but intense storm caught drivers by surprise, with footage showing a man stuck in his car, who had to be rescued by emergency services. Three firefighters and the rescued man had to be treated for hypothermia but recovered fully.
