The girl, who has not been named, was hit by hail during a storm on Tuesday night in the town of La Bisbal d’Empordà in Girona province. She was taken to a hospital in the provincial capital, but died of her injuries in the early hours of Wednesday. “We had the horrible case of the little girl who was hit by a stone,” the city’s mayor, Carme Vall, told Spain’s national broadcaster RTVE on Wednesday morning. “Not much could be done for her and she died today. It was a terrible accident.” The mayor told Catalan radio station RAC 1 that almost no rain fell, only hail up to 11 centimeters wide. “The hail only fell for 10 minutes, but it was 10 minutes of terror,” he added. Catalonia’s regional president, Pere Aragonès, said his thoughts were with the girl’s family and all those affected by the storms. He also thanked regional emergency services for their efforts. “Painfully affected by this tragedy, I want to send my condolences to the family,” Aragones wrote in a tweet. “A really big hug. Our full support to the residents of La Bisbal affected by the hailstorm. The government of Catalonia is on your side.” The Catalan meteorological office, MeteoCat, said a 10cm hailstone was found in the town where the girl died, making Tuesday’s hail the largest in the region since 2002. Catalonia’s regional fire service, the Bombers, said it received 39 calls from La Bisbal d’Empordà overnight and two from the nearby town of Forallac. He said the hail had cracked roof tiles and damaged some cables. Residents posted photos on social media showing the hail and the damage it had done to homes, vehicles and outdoor furniture.
