The driver of a vehicle has been sentenced to five years in prison by the Seventh Section of the Provincial Court of Alicante, which is located in Elche. The incident occurred in the town of Cox, which is located in the Vega Baja region. The accident resulted in the deaths of two individuals and the injury of three others.
He was found guilty of two counts of negligent homicide and three counts of reckless injury, as well as a traffic safety offence involving driving under the influence of alcohol, in accordance with the sentence that was imposed after the parties reached a plea agreement.
The convicted driver is also subject to a seven-and-a-half-year ban. However, the injured parties are not compensated, as none of them submitted a claim and instead reached an out-of-court settlement with the defendant’s insurance company.
The incident transpired on the evening of October 24th, 2020. It happened on the N-340. The vehicle of the individual who has since been convicted entered the opposing lane and collided with a quad bike that was transporting the two victims.
The All Terrain Vehicle was ejected from the road as a result of this frontal impact, and it subsequently collided with another vehicle that was being driven by a couple with two children. Everyone sustained various injuries in the collision.
