A video shot on a telephone shows the second a driver in Spain lost control of their car before getting caught in floodwaters.

It occurred after the driver attempted to go across an immersed street in Molina de Segura on the south coast.

The country has been hit by heavy rains after a prolonged drought.

Spain's state climate organization AEMET had been on track to register the driest spring since records began in 1961.

Other videos of the incident on social media appear to show that the driver was unharmed.

Thank God for the safety of the driver.
