A police chase in Alcoy, Alicante, was anticipated with both exhilaration and fear. The A7 was the scene of a 10-kilometre pursuit in the incorrect direction, resulting in the arrest of a 49-year-old English man. The motorist was ultimately apprehended after colliding with numerous parked vehicles on Avenida Hispanidad in Alcoy, resulting in no injuries.
The Guardia Civil received a call from 112 at 6 p.m. regarding a vehicle travelling in the wrong direction on the A7, with the destination being Valencia. This initiated the incident. The driver proceeded on the N-340 towards Alcoy after exiting the road at kilometre 432, while being pursued by numerous police patrols. The driver caused significant alarm by travelling in the wrong direction on several streets in Alcoy during the chase.
As soon as the individual arrived at Avenida Hispanidad, he assaulted a police officer who was attempting to stop him. The police eventually intercepted the vehicle after it caused substantial damage to at least a dozen parked cars. Fortunately, there were no fatalities; only property damage was reported.
After testing positive for narcotics, police arrested the detainee for reckless driving and assaulting a police officer. The Accident Investigation Team of the Benidorm Traffic Police assumed responsibility for the matter. Raül Llopis, the Security Councillor of Alcoy, underscored that, despite the gravity of the situation, no injuries were reported. However, authorities will continue to investigate potential damage on other streets where the vehicle may have been operating during the incident.
