Violent storms killed four people and injured several others across Poland, also leaving serious property damage in their wake, local media reported.
A 61-year-old man died, crushed by a tree yesterday while driving his car in the central town of Zgierz. His two passengers were hospitalised in serious condition.
Two other men also died, crushed by walls blown over by violent winds in the towns of Niechlonin in the north-west, and Zaluski in central Poland.
A woman drowned in the northern city of Elbag when a pedestrian bridge collapsed into a river swolen by heavy rain.
High winds ripped off roofs and toppled trees causing property damage in various locations across the country, while heavy rains triggered local flash flooding.
