The 20-year-old driver who was arrested by the Guardia Civil on Sunday for his alleged involvement in an accident that resulted in the death of a cyclist and the injury of his 14-year-old son in the Mascarat tunnel on the N-332 highway in Calp is currently free and is awaiting a court summons that will be issued prior to the trial.

The young man was arrested on suspicion of committing the offences of negligent homicide, reckless injuries, and violations of road safety.

The Guardia Civil sent the report to the judicial authorities after gathering all the necessary information, according to sources from the armed forces. The young man has been released pending a court summons.

The driver never appeared at the Investigative Court No. 3 of Dénia, as per the High Court of Justice of the Valencian Community (TSJCV), which has already received the Guardia Civil’s report on the events. The judge is currently reviewing the report in preparation for the investigative proceedings that are associated with it.

According to the official channels of the force, a severe road accident on Avenida del Mediterráneo in Gran Alacant, Santa Pola, has resulted in the injuries of numerous individuals, including two local police officers.

The accident occurred as a result of a distracted driver at the wheel, resulting in the car colliding with the police vehicle.

The images released show the significant impact suffered by the officers’ vehicle, as well as the frontal damage to the other vehicle involved.

No details have been released regarding the severity of the injuries of those involved, although a message of hope for a speedy recovery has been conveyed to the injured.

Firefighters from the Torrevieja fire station rescued a woman after her vehicle plunged off the seafront promenade at 06:07 this morning; emergency personnel responded with the assistance of the local authorities.

The driver, a 79 year old woman of foreign nationality, was driving the vehicle along the promenade when it was involved in an accident. The vehicle plunged down the embankment, a drop of over half a metre and leads to the rocks in the heart of Torrevieja.

The victim was unable to exit the vehicle independently due to the door being obstructed by the rugged terrain, necessitating the arrival of firefighters to the scene. Medical services treated her for minor injuries following the rescue. Cars are only authorised on the promenade for residents.

The local authorities are currently conducting an investigation into the causes.
