Four Britons found dead in their car are among 11 people killed in a wildfire in Almeria, Spain, officials have said. There are growing fears that other British nationals died while attempting to flee the area.Antonio Sanz, Andalucia's Regional Minister for Health, the Presidency and Emergencies, confirmed the deaths early this morning.He said: 'Unfortunately, the decision of some people to take evacuation routes that weren't those indicated by the emergency services and take an alternative route became a mortal trap.'There were two scenarios like that specifically. One was a vehicle in which four people died, with everything pointing to them being of British origin.'Then another seven people died in another scenario. They were walking and had abandoned their cars and were probably looking for a way out. But they had taken a route which wasn't the one indicated by the emergency services and the consequences have been terrible.'In a subsequent press address, Sanz said the seven people on foot could also include British nationals.He said: 'In that second scenario there were nine people and two managed to save themselves but seven died.'One appears to have been Spanish and the seven others could be foreigners, Belgians and British nationals.'Sanz stressed that it is a 'terrible, very complex fire in an area with many scattered houses and homes embedded in a forest area with a very high rate of spread.''Everything seems to indicate that, in the case of the dead, the majority - or all of them - are foreign nationals,' Sanz said.
