A woman was trapped inside her vehicle after it overturned on Wednesday afternoon on the Villamartín road, near La Zenia on the Orihuela coast. The accident occurred at approximately 3:18 p.m., a few yards from the roundabout at kilometer 52 of the N-332 national highway—an area that connects with the local Emergency Center and leads toward the Zenia Boulevard shopping complex.
Emergency services responded swiftly to the incident. Two fire crews from the Provincial Fire Consortium, along with an ambulance and officers from the Orihuela Local Police, arrived at the scene to assist. Firefighters worked to free the injured woman from the overturned car, successfully completing the rescue operation by 4:08 p.m.
According to sources from the Provincial Consortium, the woman was stabilized by paramedics before being transported to a nearby hospital for further evaluation. Details of her condition have not yet been released.
Eyewitnesses reported that traffic was disrupted but not completely halted. One of the two lanes on the Villamartín road remained open, allowing vehicles to pass slowly through the area. The accident occurred during peak afternoon hours, causing temporary congestion in this high-traffic coastal corridor.
Authorities are investigating the cause of the crash, though no other vehicles are believed to have been involved.
