Van falls into a ditch on a closed street in Crevillente

On Wednesday afternoon, April 3rd, a van was ensnared in a ditch that had been opened by roadworks on Calle Santa María de la Cabeza, which is located in the centre of Crevillent (Alicante). Witnesses reported that the driver entered a road that was clearly marked as closed for maintenance work at approximately 7:59 p.m., which is when the incident occurred.

The white van, which entered the construction site, came to a halt on its side after one of its wheels tumbled into the ditch in the centre of the road, as seen in the photograph. The incident elicited enthusiasm among passersby, who approached to enquire about the situation. Construction workers and security personnel intervened to facilitate the vehicle’s removal.

The images illustrate the peril that unauthorised access to streets that have been closed for public works can pose, despite the fact that the driver’s condition has not been disclosed and no injuries have been reported.
