A fast-moving wildfire that killed at least 12 people was tearing through a tourist area in southern Spain on Friday after trapping people in burning vehicles and as they tried to flee on foot.
At least 12 people were killed and 23 missing after a wildfire tore through a Spanish village, with four victims who may have been British burned in their car, authorities said Friday.
The authorities said many of the victims were believed to be foreigners as the fire, which started on Thursday in an area of steep ravines, destroyed forests and swathes of scrubland in the Los Gallardos area of Andalusia.
The death toll from one of Spain's deadliest wildfires rose by one to 12, said the head of the Andalusia regional government, Juan Manuel Moreno Bonilla.
He added that 23 people were missing, up from 19 previously.
