British motorcyclist, 62, killed in head-on collision in San Miguel de Salinas

A 62-year-old UK national died on Monday October 16 when his motorcycle collided head-on with a car travelling in the opposite direction on the CV-95 in San Miguel de Salinas. The horror crash occurred at around 2.30 in the afternoon between the Los Montesinos-Entrenaranjos road and the Torremendo roundabout.

According to officials, the motorcyclist swerved into the opposite lane when taking a sharp bend and drove straight into an oncoming can, also driven by a British man. The driver of the car was uninjured in the accident.

Emergency workers and officers from the Police and Guardia Civil were quickly on the scene but sadly nothing could be done to save the life of the motorcyclist.

The Local Police of San Miguel regulated traffic in the area until 4pm, when the body was removed.

The tragedy took place on an extremely busy stretch of road that the authorities have been promising to widen for several years. On average, between 10,000 and 15,000 vehicles travel the route on a daily basis as its serves as the main link between the Vega Baja coastal towns and Orihuela.
