A cyclist suffered an accident in Cala Mosca, between Playa Flamenca and Punta Prima, while out riding his bike on Thursday evening. He was attended by specialists from the Provincial Fire Brigade (CPB) of Alicante who were called to rescue him fom the bottom of a cliff face.
The injured man had fallen down a four-metre-high slope and suffered injuries that prevented him from moving. As he was unable to get out on his own, so a rescue team had to be called in, arriving at the area and carrying out the rescue at approximately 9pm.
Given the harsh, rocky terrain and difficult access, the specialists had to use two light vehicles, with the necessary equipment for the intervention, which attended the scene to stabilise the victim. The staff was completed by three firefighters, a corporal and a sergeant.
After managing to get him out of the cliff, the fire brigade evacuated the injured cyclist on a stretcher to a SAMU ambulance in which he was transferred to a medical centre where he received assistance.
