A gasoil tanker with a disabled tractor head requires heavy recovery, prolonging lane closures.

Overview

  • Cartagena firefighters freed the trapped driver, who sustained minor injuries and was taken by 061 ambulance to Hospital Santa Lucía.
  • The truck’s tractor head failed, leaving the tanker obstructing the carriageway and triggering multi‑kilometre queues.
