A major Spanish city has been brought to a near standstill by floods. Videos show streets underwater and residents pushing cars through the flood zone in Valladolid, in the northwestern province of Castile and León, after rain hit on Tuesday.

Other pictures emerging from the scene show residents struggling to walk through the streets, with the water levels reaching their knees. Tunnels were also flooded, with some cars remaining trapped inside, according to Castilla y León Emergency Services.  Streets quickly flooded around the city, and emergency services received more than 200 calls just between 7pm and 8pm, according to local media.
