An 86-year-old man died Thursday afternoon after being involved in a motorcycle accident in an urban area in Alcoy, according to municipal sources and the Center for Emergency Information and Coordination (CICU). The incident occurred at around 6:20 pm, on the last section of Santa Rosa street, between the roundabout at the intersection with Oliver street and the Fernando Reig bridge.
The causes of the crash were not disclosed, whether the motorcyclist collided with something, accidentally fell out of the vehicle, or otherwise occurred, but in any case, he fell fatally off the motorcycle. The Emergency Medical Care Service (SAMU) unit dispatched to the scene was only able to confirm the man’s death.
There is no record of other vehicles being involved in the events. Due to the fact that it took place on a main road and at a busy time, the incident caused a significant congestion in city traffic reaching the previous section of Santa Rosa street.
