Italy's southern island of Sicily has been devastated by wildfires that have killed three elderly people as a heatwave and severe storms further north took a heavy toll.
Italian firefighters said they battled nearly 1,400 fires between Sunday and Tuesday, including 650 in Sicily and 390 in Calabria, the southern mainland region.
Amid weeks of record-breaking temperature.
A video has surfaced on social media which shows a wall of flames lashing over the edge of the highway.
The now-viral video shows a wildfire burning metres away from a car driving on an Italian highway.
A driver is shown driving through the wildfire.
