ARCHIVED - Third death on same stretch of road in Torrevieja
A moped rider has died following another crash in the Vega Baja town's Avenida Desiderio Rodríguez
A man riding a moped has died after colliding with a vehicle in Torrevieja's Avenida Desiderio Rodríguez, the scene of a double fatality in August in which an elderly couple were hit by a speeding van driver at a pedestrian crossing.
Just hours after the double tragedy during the summer, a third pedestrian suffered rib injuries after being involved in a hit-and-run at the same crossing.
The most recent incident occurred at around 5.30pm on Tuesday November 30.
According to the Generalitat Emergency Coordination Centre (CICU), a SAMU unit and an SVB unit were mobilised to assist the moped rider, whose age is unknown, after a collision with another vehicle. Sadly, all medics could do was confirm the victim's death.
An investigation is underway, but witnesses claim the victim was "travelling on his moped correctly" prior to the fatal crash.
