ARCHIVED - Woman killed and another seriously hurt in crash with lorry in Lorca
The fatal accident happened on the A-7 in the Murcia municipality
A woman has been killed and another female seriously hurt in a collision with a lorry on the A-7 in Lorca.
The horror smash happened just after 11am on Tuesday June 28 at the Saprelorca industrial estate and patrols from the Guardia Civil, Murcia Region firefighters and several ambulances were immediately sent to the scene.
Fire crews worked for an hour to free the two women from the wreckage, but tragically the passenger died on impact. After being freed and stabilised by an 061 medical team, the driver was taken to Virgen de la Arrixaca hospital in Murcia with "very serious injuries".
According to witnesses, at the kilometre point where the collision occurred, PK 647, there's a change of gradient in the road which leads to a reduction in vision.
Whilst it hasn't been officially confirmed by police, it has been speculated that the driver of the car may have lost sight of the lorry, which was driving in front of her, resulting in a rear-end collision. A van was unable to avoid the wreckage and crashed into the car although there have been no reports of other injuries. A thorough investigation into the cause of the accident is underway.
