Overview
- A large rock detached during heavy rain on Monday and fell onto a car on the MA-8400 near Benaoján, killing a 41-year-old man from Estepona and leaving three passengers with minor injuries.
- Emergency services received the alert at 16:11 and dispatched the 061 medical team, provincial firefighters and Guardia Civil traffic units to free occupants, treat the injured and secure the scene.
- Aemet had active rain warnings for the Serranía de Ronda as Storm Adam moved through, and Emergencias 112 logged hundreds of storm-related incidents across Andalucía including floods, rescues and fallen trees.
- Local residents and sources told reporters the slide began below the Cueva del Zuque in a climbing area where loose blocks can rebound onto the road, a spot they say has shown repeated vulnerability during rain.
- Separately on Monday morning a 52-year-old worker died after a 2.5‑metre fall in Aldea del Rey, a death that arrives as Castilla‑La Mancha records 39 workplace fatalities through September, 15 more than the same period in 2025.
