Five individuals were injured in a traffic accident on the CV 851 highway in the municipality of Elche on Sunday, May 11th, according to the Generalitat’s Emergency Coordination Centre (CICU). Health services were responsible for providing treatment. The tragedy was initially reported by the CICU to have taken place in the municipality of Dolores.

According to the CICU, the emergency services were notified at approximately 6:30 p.m. of an accident involving two vehicles on the CV-851, which was travelling towards Elche.

Two basic life support units, one transport unit, and one SAMU medical unit were deployed to provide medical assistance to the injured.

Five individuals were attended to by the medical team: two males aged 22 and 40, a woman aged 36, and two infants aged 2 and 10 months.

Subsequently, all were transferred to the Vinalopó Hospital and the General Hospital in Elche, initially suffering from injuries. However, no additional information regarding their condition has been disclosed.

National Police officers have arrested a 43-year-old man for allegedly perpetrating a burglary within a hospital in Elche. The private security personnel were aware of the suspect, who had broken into 14 containers in various locations he had visited, and they notified the police.

Although the individual fled to a nearby neighbourhood, patrols promptly apprehended him. Among his possessions, they found a variety of medical supplies and instruments purportedly used to break into the lockers.

This individual was apprehended by officers for the purported offence of burglary, as determined by the information gained. Following the police investigation, the detainee appeared before the investigating court on duty.

Arrested for an attempted assault at a different facility in Elche

An incident of violence against medical staff occurred at another local hospital in the wake of an attempted assault by a 34-year-old man who had recently been discharged.

The private security team of the centre was compelled to promptly intervene in response to the attacker’s aggressive behaviour, thereby preventing the situation from escalating and causing additional harm.

The individual was promptly apprehended by a police detail, who identified him as the alleged perpetrator of a crime that involved the assault and damage of healthcare workers. They subsequently arrested him.
