b'Adelaide woman Sasha was shopping in Barcelona\'s La Rambla when a man drove a van through the district killing at least 13 people leaving more than 50 people injured.
She told Jodie & Soda a last-minute decision to head back to her hotel means she missed being at the centre of the attacks.
"We heard people running behind us and screams we decided to just start running"

Sasha praised the Barcelona emergency services for the quick response and locking down the district to protect the locals and tourists in the area.

"Within about a 5-minute period we\'d hear around about 50 sirens from police, ambulances and firefighters they were all over it, it was really good to see."'
