A house collapse in Altea closed the N-332 road for a time.

The heavy rain to fall on the Costa Blanca yesterday led to the collapse of a house in Altea and the blocking of the N-332 road for a time. Fortunately there was nobody at home in the house in Calle La Mar when the collapse happened at 1.30pm.

In a separate incident some 20 residents had to leave their homes in Alcoy when a ceiling collapsed. They were housed in a local hotel as a precaution.

The rain was also thought to have played a part in a fatal traffic accident in Benissa where a driver died.

An average of 40 litres per square metre of rain fell across Alicante province yesterday.
