At least six people have been killed across central Europe as Storm Boris’s torrential rain caused flooding not seen in decades.

One person drowned in southwest Poland and thousands were evacuated across the border in the Czech Republic.

A firefighter tackling flooding in Lower Austria was also killed, as authorities declared the province which surrounds Vienna a disaster area.

Rivers overflowed from Poland to Romania, where four people were found dead on Saturday.

Some parts of the Czech Republic and Poland faced the worst flooding in almost three decades and a bridge collapsed in the historic Polish town of Glucholazy near the Czech border.
