Benissa Crash Victim Dies in Hospital as Separate Palma Wreck Injures Six

Investigators point to excessive speed, overloading, plus positive alcohol-drug tests in the Palma crash.

Overview

  • A driver hurt in Sunday night's multi-vehicle collision on Benissa's N-332 variant died at Hospital de Dénia after going into cardiac arrest en route.
  • The Benissa pileup began with a head-on collision followed by two rear-end impacts, leaving six injured including two minors who remain stable under observation.
  • Five fire units from Dénia and Benissa, multiple SAMU and SVB ambulances coordinated by the CICU, and patrols from the Guardia Civil and local police responded to the Benissa scene.
  • In Palma on Sunday morning, a rental car with six occupants in a five-seat vehicle left the road near the Génova cemetery and struck a tree, injuring six with one in serious condition.
  • Policía Local says the Palma driver tested positive for alcohol and drugs, with speed as the working hypothesis; local reports say the injured were taken to city hospitals and are of Colombian origin.
