Flash flood in Refrontolo, Italy has claimed lives of at least four people and injured 20 others, Reuters said.
The disaster occurred when around 100 people were taking part in a countryside festival held under a tent in Refrontolo Saturday night.
The sudden overflowing of a stream swollen by incessant rainfalls caused flooding in the area. The overflowing was allegedly caused by the accumulation of debris, including rocks, soil and several hay bales, in a point of the stream, Xinhua has written quoting the forest management unit.
