A bridge submerged by the flooded Gard river is pictured in Dions, on March 10, 2024 following heavy rain over south-eastern France. — AFP picDIONS, March 11 — French rescue workers recovered three bodies yesterday and were searching for four other people, including two children, after violent storms lashed the southeast of the country, with most believed to have been swept away in cars on flooded bridges.

The father and two children were still missing but the mother, 40, who was also in the car, was found by rescuers and taken to hospital, it said. One of the two passengers aboard managed to escape and was later found clinging to a tree for more than two hours before being rescued, the prefecture told AFP.

The search was called off as night fell on Sunday “because the water flow made the situation extremely dangerous”, regional firefighting official Thierry Carret said, adding the search would resume Monday.
