A fatal multi-vehicle accident occurred on the La Manga motorway late Saturday night, claiming the lives of two women in their 40s and injuring six others. The collision involved approximately a dozen vehicles.
Initial investigations indicate that a vehicle towing an inflatable boat lost control, causing a chain reaction crash. The driver and passengers of the towing vehicle fled the scene, prompting speculation about their potential involvement in criminal activity. Authorities are actively investigating this possibility.
Emergency services responded swiftly to the incident near Venta el Sabinar, mobilizing medical teams and firefighters to the scene. One individual sustained serious injuries and was transported to Virgen de la Arrixaca hospital, while others were taken to Santa Lucía hospital in Cartagena for treatment of various fractures and bruises.
The collision resulted in the closure of the motorway for approximately three hours, causing significant traffic disruptions. Firefighters worked diligently to extricate the bodies of the deceased from the wreckage. Emergency services urged motorists to seek alternative routes and cooperate with traffic control measures to facilitate the response efforts.
