Overview

  • At least two people died and several others were injured in separate crashes between June 11 and 13 involving trucks, cars and construction machinery in regions including Málaga and Segovia.
  • A 35-year-old woman suffered catastrophic leg injuries after a garbage truck struck her in Madrid’s Arganzuela district and she was intubated at Hospital 12 de Octubre.
  • A heavy-goods vehicle veered off the A-35 near Moixent without major injuries and a sand-laden trailer overturned on the A-355 in Marbella, both incidents blocking lanes.
  • Single-vehicle accidents on the A-7 near Godella and the AP-7 in Torremolinos triggered traffic jams of up to 18 kilometres during morning peak hours.
  • The Guardia Civil is examining whether road conditions or vehicle malfunctions contributed to the crashes as traffic authorities monitor remaining bottlenecks.
