In Alicante, a motorcyclist runs over a pedestrian and a worker falls from scaffolding

SAMU Ambulance

Numerous incidents that necessitated the involvement of emergency services have occurred in the province of Alicante yesterday. The initial incident happened in Elda’s Calle Padre Manón. A call regarding a worker falling from a scaffold was received by the Emergency Information and Coordination Centre (CICU) around 8.40 am. The 38-year-old victim was taken to Elda Hospital with multiple bruises after an ambulance from the Basic Life Service (SVB) was sent out almost away.

Twenty minutes later, at approximately nine in the morning, the CICU got another call, this time from Alicante’s Avenida Conde de Lumiares. A man, age 21, sustained bruising after being involved in a car-motorbike collision. After treating the victim at the scene of the accident, the Emergency Medical Service (SAMU) medical team took him to Alicante General Hospital.

The hectic day ended at 2:00 pm when a new warning was issued on a hit-and-run incident on Avenida Joan Fuster in Dénia in which a motorbike had ran over a pedestrian. According to the Emergency Information and Coordination Centre, the motorbike rider and the pedestrian were both hurt in the double accident.

The 65-year-old woman who was driven over had a fracture and a head injury, while the 16-year-old biker sustained a head injury. Due to the severity of both situations, the victims have been sent to the Dénia Hospital and are being cared for by the SVB and SAMU.

TUI

With the addition of Alicante and Salzburg to its portfolio of city breaks, TUI UK&I has given its customers even more options when it comes to vacation planning.

Alicante - Costa Blanca - Spain

Travellers can enjoy a combination of leisurely beach days and exploring the city of Alicante, which is teeming with amazing architecture from the Mediaeval to the Modernist periods. There are lots of local bars to check out along the waterfront, and it’s easy to go from the beach to the bustling city centre.

Salzburg is a vibrant city with a wealth of museums, culture, stunning mountain views, and architecture that transports you to a Renaissance painting. Salzburg has a lot to offer tourists of all stripes, including a large number of local taverns, beer, and traditional food vendors.

And since Salzburg is the birthplace of the Sound of Music, there’s no better way to commemorate the movie’s 60th anniversary than to take a trip there and experience the beloved 1959 musical.

Family rescued from house fire in Villajoyosa

Villajoyosa

Yesterday afternoon, Monday 31st March, a fire started on the bottom floor of a house near the railway bridge in Villajoyosa, forcing a family to evacuate. However, no one there needed medical care, according to municipal sources.

The local police, the Guardia Civil, firefighters from the Provincial Consortium attached to the Benidorm fire station, and an ambulance—which was eventually unnecessary—were among the emergency services sent to the scene.

Throughout the late afternoon, a large portion of the town could see the smoke column, which was coming from the Costes district.

Benidorm emergency services rescue Brit from an estate agents sign

Benidorm TV Interview

When a 27-year-old British tourist climbed from an upper floor to an estate agency sign while on holiday in Benidorm, he became stuck and had no idea how to get out. The tourist stood impassively over the business sign a few meters above the ground, while around him, on central Calle Gambo, curious people and police officers gathered and cordoned off the immediate area. This unexpected deployment of emergency personnel included both local and national police and firefighters.

The man was left lying on the sign for a short while until a fire engine ladder finally came up to the sign and assisted him in getting out.

Police sources claim that the tourist received no punishment for the event, not even an arrest or fine. This pedestrian and commercial route, which links Plaza Triangular with Calle Martínez Alejost, returned to normal whilsts some locals used their mobile phones to record the events.
