In a related incident, a British couple, Terry and Dawn Turner, who lived in the town of Pedralba near Valencia, also fell victim to the flood. Their daughter, Ruth O’Loughlin, from Brentwood, Staffordshire, reported that her parents’ bodies were discovered in their car on Saturday, November 2nd.
Ruth shared that her parents had relocated to Valencia from the UK a decade ago, drawn by the region’s warm climate compared to the cooler weather they experienced in Britain.
