A 20-month-old child has died in Spain after being struck on the head by a hailstone.

About 50 other people reported injuries - ranging from bruises to bone fractures - from the freak 10-minute-long storm that hit the Girona region of Catalonia on Tuesday evening.
It destroyed roofs, downed power cables and shattered windows.

One of the hailstones measured 10cm (4 inches) in diameter, Catalonia's meteorological service said.
It the largest to rain down on the region since 2002.
