A serious traffic incident unfolded on the N-332 near the Torrevieja area, involving two passenger cars and a motorcycle. The crash happened on a ring road segment around 14:30, in a stretch known for double continuous lines and a single lane in each direction. The scene quickly drew the attention of emergency services as a vehicle briefly caught fire. Responders were deployed rapidly, and after arriving on site, they found that occupants of the burning car could exit without being trapped. No passengers from the other vehicle were reported as trapped either. Fire crews from the Torrevieja Fire Station worked to suppress the blaze and prevent any spread to nearby vehicles or roadside infrastructure. The operation focused on controlling the fire and ensuring situational safety while fire suppression was completed, allowing responders to assess the scene and assist any affected individuals.
The incident drew a broad response from emergency services and law enforcement, with police units and rescue teams directing traffic and maintaining order as crews worked. Temporary closures and diversions were put in place to manage the flow of vehicles around Nations Park and the adjacent commercial area, leading to noticeable delays for drivers in the area. The event occurred on a road section where traffic management was essential to prevent secondary incidents while the primary accident was being addressed.
The accident produced a significant disruption to local traffic networks, with authorities coordinating to restore normal flow as quickly as possible. Local roads and nearby routes were used to reroute vehicles, alleviating congestion around the Torrevieja zone. Safer travel conditions were gradually restored as rescue and clean-up operations concluded and the roadway was cleared for through traffic.
The collision resulted in four men aged between 32 and 60 receiving treatment at the scene for minor injuries described as bruises. Medical personnel provided initial care and subsequently transported the injured individuals to Torrevieja University Hospital for further evaluation, monitoring, and care. Medical teams emphasized that all injuries were non life threatening and that the victims were stable before being moved. The incident underscores the importance of cautious driving on busy highway corridors and the need for swift, coordinated emergency responses in high traffic zones.
This marks the third serious incident along this same portion of the N-332 in recent months, drawing attention to road safety measures on this stretch and prompting authorities to review traffic patterns, signage, and response readiness. Local authorities continue to monitor conditions and assess potential improvements to reduce future risk and maintain safer travel for residents and travelers alike.
