Flooding disrupts traffic on Romania's DN1 again as heavy rain hits Prahova Valley

Romania's busy DN1 national road was blocked again on Monday, July 20, after torrential rain triggered flooding and landslides in the Prahova Valley. The disruption came one day after a powerful flash flood swept through the mountain resort of Bușteni, inundating homes and carrying cars and debris through the streets.

Traffic was initially brought to a standstill in the areas of Comarnic and Nistorești after floodwater and mud covered the roadway. Authorities later reopened the road.
