Heavy snowfall in the French Alps has left around 15,000 drivers stranded, prompting officials to open emergency shelters and urge travellers to stay home. The snow hit as a rush of holidaymakers were heading to and leaving from ski resorts in the Savoie region in south-eastern France, where authorities set up shelters in at least 12 towns. The snow and freezing rain also caused the death of a 27-year-old man, whose car slid into a ravine in the Belledonne mountain range.
