FIREFIGHTERS and police have rescued seventy school children from a bus that was caught in a flood in southern Spain and left balancing at a precarious angle as the road disappeared beneath the water.
Local Police from Cartagena raced to the scene at Crtra. del Sifon in Murcia where the packed coach had to be evacuated by firefighters amid swirling waters.
Despite the spectacular nature of the incident all of the children were safely rescued with no reports of injuries.
Other vehicles including cars and a bin lorry were also caught out by the freak floods.
