Rome: Italian firefighters searched Tuesday for a grandmother and baby missing after a flash flood swept through a Tuscan house reportedly rented by a family of German tourists.
"Search underway since last night for a 5-month-old baby and grandmother missing due to flooding of Sterza creek in Montecatini Val di Cecina", near Pisa, firefighters said on X.
"Father, mother, grandfather rescued on a rooftop", they said, adding that they were "foreign tourists".
The holidaymakers were a German family caught off guard by the sudden breaking of the river's banks during heavy rains which swept through the area late Monday, according to local media reports.
Firefighter divers were searching the area with the help of a helicopter, drones and sniffer dogs.
